The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Perry, IA, is a supportive and educational initiative designed for individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This free program, available in both English and Spanish, helps participants navigate their journey to better health over a comprehensive 12-month period. Each participant receives six informative e-booklets that cover essential topics tailored to their needs following diagnosis, along with a monthly e-newsletter packed with seasonal tips and valuable resources. The program also highlights local community events, fostering a sense of connection and support. Enrollees can opt to provide their phone number to gain access to the monthly Ask the Experts Q&A series, where they can engage with diabetes experts, discuss the vital link between diabetes and heart health, and enjoy helpful giveaways designed to enhance their wellness journey. Our mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive while living with diabetes.
