The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Collinsville, IL, is a supportive, free initiative designed for individuals newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Over the course of 12 months, participants will gain essential knowledge and skills for effective diabetes management through a series of six comprehensive e-booklets tailored to their specific needs. Alongside informative monthly e-newsletters featuring seasonal tips and resources available in both English and Spanish, the program also highlights local community events to help build connections. Enrollees who provide their phone numbers are invited to join our monthly Ask the Experts Q&A series, where they can pose questions to diabetes specialists, explore the vital relationship between diabetes and heart health, and benefit from engaging giveaways—all aimed at empowering them to thrive in their diabetes journey.
