The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Deridder, LA, is dedicated to supporting individuals newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes through a free, comprehensive learning experience over a 12-month period. Our program provides essential resources, including six informative e-booklets tailored to help participants understand diabetes management at their own pace, a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips and community event information available in both English and Spanish, and exclusive access to our 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series where enrollees can engage directly with American Diabetes Association specialists. We aim to empower those living with diabetes by offering practical guidance on managing their health, including the critical connection between diabetes and heart health, all while fostering a supportive community atmosphere.
