The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Walker, LA, is a supportive and informative initiative designed for individuals newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This free program, offered in both English and Spanish, spans 12 months and equips participants with essential knowledge about diabetes management through interactive resources. Each participant receives six informative e-booklets covering vital topics to aid understanding and coping after diagnosis, alongside a monthly e-newsletter featuring seasonal tips and details about local community events. Additionally, enrollees who provide their phone number can join our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, engaging directly with American Diabetes Association specialists to discuss diabetes-related concerns and learn about the critical connection between diabetes and heart health. Together, we empower individuals to thrive while managing their diabetes effectively.
