Study Documents Web Site Welcome to the Diabetes Prevention Program Study Repository! The Diabetes Prevention Program is funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to determine the safety and efficacy of two interventions (intensive lifestyle and metformin) relative to a control group (standard lifestyle recommendations) in preventing or delaying the confirmed development of diabetes. The objective of the study is to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes among persons at high risk using interventions designed to improve abnormal glucose metabolism.
