Project SIEN: Replication Report
April 2008
The Bexar Area Agency on Aging (Bexar AAA) chose to implement Project SIEN to replicate the Diabetes Prevention Program, which had already proven successful in clinical trials. The program utilizes exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle modification rather than medication to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Project SIEN includes:
-
150 minutes of physical activity per week;
-
Low-carbohydrate lunches seven days per week;
-
Salsa Caliente: a series of health and nutrition education classes that last one hour per week for 12 weeks; and
-
Peer Leaders
