The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Oakland, MD, is a supportive initiative designed for individuals who have recently received a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. This free program spans 12 months, offering a structured approach to understanding diabetes management at a comfortable pace. Participants will benefit from six informative e-booklets and a monthly e-newsletter that provides tailored seasonal tips and resources in both English and Spanish. We also highlight community events to foster connections and support. By providing their phone number, enrollees can participate in our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they can engage directly with ADA experts to address their diabetes-related questions, explore the connection between diabetes and heart health, and receive helpful giveaways aimed at enhancing their wellness journey. Our mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive in their management of diabetes.
