The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Waukegan, IL, is a supportive and comprehensive initiative designed for individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Offered free of charge in both English and Spanish, our program spans a year and focuses on empowering participants through education and resources tailored to their journey. Enrollees receive six informative e-booklets covering key topics for effective diabetes management, along with a monthly e-newsletter featuring seasonal tips and local community events. Additionally, those who provide their phone number can join our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, which connects participants directly with ADA specialists for personalized guidance on diabetes and its link to heart health, along with useful giveaways. We are committed to providing the knowledge and support necessary for our community to thrive with diabetes.
