Outcomes and Forms

Curriculum Content

The content of the I CAN Prevent Diabetes Program is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program and adapted by PLAN FORWARD at the Indiana University Diabetes Translation Research Center for work with the YMCA.

Facilitator Training

In order to standardize the I CAN Prevent Diabetes groups, facilitators have been required to attend and be certified at a two day facilitator training lead by Dr. David Marrero or Minnesota trained leaders.  Facilitator trainings have been held in Minnesota in December 2007, August 2008, March 2009 for Spanish speaking facilitators, and July 2009. Over 70 facilitators have been certified to offer programs in Minnesota.

Information about upcoming training opportunities will be posted to the website.

For more information about facilitator training, contact the Minnesota Diabetes Program, Rita.Mays@state.mn.us

Successes and Challenges

The I CAN Prevent Diabetes program was piloted in 4 communities from 2007-2009 and is currently expanding to other sites. Evaluation results from those classes will help inform planning efforts for future programs. Lessons learned will be posted later.
