The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Minden, LA, is dedicated to supporting individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes through a comprehensive and free 12-month educational journey. This program, available in both English and Spanish, offers a series of six informative e-booklets tailored to help participants navigate their new diagnosis. Enrollees benefit from a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips, local community event information, and resources designed to empower their diabetes management. Additionally, those who provide their phone number can join our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A sessions, where they can pose their diabetes-related queries to American Diabetes Association experts, discover the critical connection between diabetes and heart health, and participate in engaging discussions. Our mission is to equip individuals with essential knowledge and tools, fostering a community focused on thriving despite the challenges of diabetes.
