Living with a chronic condition takes more than willpower—it requires resilience, support, and access to the right programs. In this episode, we explore how people in Wisconsin are building that resilience while managing health challenges like prediabetes. We will highlight the state’s Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a proven lifestyle change program that helps people live healthier, longer lives.

We will hear from Pam Geis with the Wisconsin Department of Health Service, Division of Public Health, who coordinates Wisconsin’s Diabetes Prevention Program, and Debb, who has lived the experience, and is a Diabetes Prevention Program graduate. Together, they will share the tools, mindsets, and community connections that foster long-term health and resilience.
