Diabetes Prevention Program

Norman Regional Health System's National Diabetes Prevention Program offers Oklahomans the tools, education and support system to help participants with prediabetes prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Participants in the prevention program meet as a group with trained lifestyle coaches and learn how to make important changes such as losing a modest amount of weight, being more physically active and managing stress over the yearlong program.

In order to qualify for the program, patients must be at least 18 years old, be overweight with a BMI of 24 or greater, have established risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes or have been diagnosed with prediabetes within the past year or previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes while pregnant.

Oklahoma's Premier Diabetic Limb Salvage Program

Norman Regional Health System is dedicated to decreasing amputations and improving healing for diabetic ulcers. We are waging a war on these wounds with our comprehensive Diabetic Limb Salvage Program (DLS). It is the first of its kind in the state of Oklahoma. This premier program and multispecialty team was developed to address the needs of this special patient group in a timely manner and coordinate care for the best outcomes. This team is our patient’s biggest ally in the battle for recovery.

Norman Regional Health System has processes in place to look for patients with diabetic ulcers that could benefit from the Diabetic Limb Salvage Program. Also if you or a family member has a diabetic foot ulcer, please speak with your family or general physician about a referral to the Oklahoma Wound Center or DLS program.
