6. Diabetes Prevention Program research study DPP Study: Randomized controlled trial that compared placebo, medication (metformin) and intensive lifestyle intervention in adults at high risk of developing diabetes At average three years follow-up, the lifestyle intervention reduced the incidence of diabetes by 58%compared to placebo • During the same time period, Metformin reduced the incidence of diabetes by 31% compared to placebo Key takeaway: Lifestyle change was twice as effective as metformin.

7. Considerations for implementation There are start-up and ongoing costs associated with implementation of the National DPP lifestyle change program. These include: • Cost to train staff to deliver the program • Staff time and resources to administer the program • Marketing and recruitment for the program • Resources needed to identify and enroll eligible patients • Optional- incentives for participants to complete the program Use the AMA budget considerations tool to estimate lifestyle change program costs Estimate costs for the initial number of cohorts planned and for future with expanded number of cohorts. Use cost data to request budget or reimbursement from payers

9. Cost savings benefits of offering the program to our patients PROJECTED MEDICAL COST SAVINGS: ORGANIZATION NAME​ Using the calculator at ama-roi-calculator.appspot.com/, we have projected a potential savings of:​ $XXXX over 3 years​ Projections based on XXpatients.​ Individual results vary depending on the cost of program participation, the prevalence of prediabetes, the enrollment rate and the completion rate. The above results were calculated based on common ranges.  By offering the National DPP lifestyle change program we can not only help our patients lead healthier lives, but also potentially prevent costly medical expenses down the line. On average, those with well established/diagnosed diabetes incur $16,750 in total medical expenditures each year. • American Diabetes Association.
