The Program
Evidence-based. Nurse-led. Medicare covered.Ready to help your patients prevent Type 2 diabetes?
The National DPP lifestyle change program is one of the most rigorously studied behavioral interventions in preventive medicine — reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes by 58% in people with prediabetes (71% for adults over 60). TNN delivers the CDC PreventT2 curriculum through live virtual group sessions and asynchronous distance learning, authorized under the PREVENT DIABETES Act through December 31, 2029.
16 weekly core sessions (months 1–6) followed by 6 monthly maintenance sessions (months 7–12). Patients are never dropped after the core curriculum ends.
Club 150 — Movement Your Way
Participant-led physical activity program targeting 150 minutes per week. Patients explore activity types and build a routine that fits their real life. No gym required.
10-session foundational nutrition education series. General nutrition education only — not medical nutrition therapy (MNT).
TNN bills Medicare directly using HCPCS G-codes. No copay, no deductible, no cost sharing for qualifying beneficiaries. Self-pay options available for non-Medicare patients.
This program is led by a clinically trained nurse ,
not a wellness app, not a health coach with a certification course.
Gwendolyn Woody is the founder of The Nutritionist and Nurse and a nurse-trained diabetes lifestyle coach based in Houston, Texas. She built TNN specifically to deliver evidence-based diabetes prevention to Medicare beneficiaries with prediabetes — combining the clinical standards of a healthcare practice with the personal accountability of a coach.
Every session your patient attends is delivered under Gwendolyn's clinical supervision. Weight is documented every session. Progress is tracked against the CDC PreventT2 curriculum. And with your patient's written authorization, you will receive periodic updates on their attendance and weight loss milestones.
All sessions operate under Gwendolyn's clinical supervision. Privacy Officer: Gwendolyn Woody, LPN, CNCM, DLC
