The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Waynesville, MO, is dedicated to supporting individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes through a compassionate and informative 12-month journey. This free program, available in both English and Spanish, equips participants with essential knowledge for effective diabetes management. Enrollees receive valuable resources, including six specially designed e-booklets that cater to their unique needs following diagnosis, and a monthly e-newsletter filled with relevant tips and local community event information. Participants who share their phone number gain access to our interactive monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they can pose diabetes-related questions to experts from the American Diabetes Association, explore the critical connection between diabetes and heart health, and enjoy giveaways aimed at enhancing their wellbeing. Our mission is to empower individuals to thrive while navigating their diabetes journey with confidence and support.
