The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Bastrop, LA, is a supportive initiative designed for individuals who have recently received a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. This free program spans 12 months and is tailored to empower participants with essential knowledge and practical skills for effective diabetes management. Offering resources in both English and Spanish, the program includes six informative e-booklets focused on key topics relevant to the journey of managing diabetes, as well as a monthly e-newsletter packed with seasonal tips and local community event information.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where individuals can build confidence in their health management.
