The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Monticello, IA, is dedicated to supporting individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes through a comprehensive and caring approach that spans 12 months. This free, bilingual program equips participants with essential knowledge and tools for effective diabetes management, featuring six informative e-booklets that address key topics relevant to their journey. In addition to a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips and community resources, enrollees are encouraged to engage in our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they can pose their diabetes-related questions to ADA specialists, gain insights into the connection between diabetes and heart health, and enjoy helpful giveaways designed to enhance their wellness. Our mission is to empower individuals with the information and support they need to thrive post-diagnosis in a nurturing environment.
