The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Albert Lea, MN, is a supportive and informative initiative designed for individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This free program, available in both English and Spanish, offers a comprehensive 12-month journey that empowers participants through accessible education and resources. Enrollees receive six e-booklets tailored to their needs, a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips, and details about local events. Participants have the unique opportunity to engage with ADA experts in our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, allowing them to address their diabetes-related questions, explore the connection between diabetes and heart health, and receive helpful giveaways. Our mission is to enhance the health and well-being of our community members as they navigate diabetes management with knowledge and support.
