The Living With Type 2 Diabetes Program in Columbus, MS, is a supportive, free initiative designed for individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Over the course of 12 months, participants engage with tailored educational materials, including six informative e-booklets that address crucial topics in diabetes management, along with a monthly e-newsletter that offers valuable seasonal tips and local community resources in both English and Spanish. Enrollees can also join the interactive monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they can pose their diabetes-related questions to American Diabetes Association experts, learn about the important connections between diabetes and heart health, and receive practical giveaways that enhance their journey toward thriving with diabetes. This program not only empowers participants with knowledge but also fosters community connections to aid in navigating life with diabetes.
