The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Festus, MO, is a supportive initiative designed for individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This free program offers a holistic approach to diabetes education and management over a 12-month period, available in both English and Spanish. Participants receive six informative e-booklets, each tailored to facilitate understanding and provide practical strategies for daily living with diabetes. Additionally, we offer a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips, resources, and details about local community events. Enrollees who provide their phone numbers are also invited to join our interactive Ask the Experts Q&A series, where they can directly ask questions to ADA experts about diabetes care and learn crucial connections between diabetes and heart health, all while enjoying community support and exclusive giveaways designed to enhance their journey to better health.
