The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Glendale Heights, IL, is a welcoming initiative designed for individuals newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Understanding the challenges faced after a diagnosis, we offer a free, comprehensive 12-month program that provides essential knowledge and support for effective diabetes management. Participants benefit from six informative e-booklets tailored to various aspects of diabetes, alongside a monthly e-newsletter full of seasonal tips and resources available in both English and Spanish. Our program also keeps enrollees informed about local community events, fostering a sense of connection. To enhance engagement, participants who share their phone number can take part in our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A sessions, where they can pose questions to ADA experts, discover critical links between diabetes and heart health, and even receive helpful giveaways designed to empower them in their journey to thrive with diabetes.
