The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Gurnee, IL, is a welcoming and supportive initiative designed for individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This free program, available in both English and Spanish, guides participants through a comprehensive 12-month learning journey focused on effective diabetes management. Each participant receives six informative e-booklets tailored to their needs, alongside a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips and local community resources. Enrollees who provide their phone numbers are invited to our interactive monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they can engage with diabetes specialists to ask questions, learn about the connection between diabetes and heart health, and enjoy giveaways that support their health journey. Our mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources necessary to thrive while managing their diabetes.
