The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Barrington, IL, is designed to empower individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes by providing essential tools and knowledge for effective diabetes management over a supportive 12-month period. This free program, available in both English and Spanish, includes six informative e-booklets tailored to guide participants through their journey, as well as a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips and vital resources. Participants can also engage with local community events to further enhance their understanding and management of diabetes. By submitting their phone number, enrollees gain access to our monthly Ask the Experts Q&A series, where they can engage directly with ADA experts to ask questions, discover the connection between diabetes and heart health, and receive helpful giveaways to support their wellness. Our mission is to foster an inclusive, informative environment that facilitates effective diabetes management and encourages community connection.
