7. Measure Your Success

How do you know if the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program is achieving what you intend it to? We’ll take you through a quick process aimed at setting you up to address the following questions:

• Are we screening and testing enough of our population to find those who are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes and eligible for the program?
• Are we enrolling employees who are eligible for the program?
• Are employees who enroll sticking with the program?
• Are we seeing the expected effect on the health and productivity of program participants?

We’ll also help you set goals that are meaningful for your organization, identify supporting metrics, and give you a place to easily track your progress toward meeting your program goals.
