The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Gautier, MS, is dedicated to supporting individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes through a comprehensive and free 12-month journey of education and empowerment. This program, available in both English and Spanish, equips participants with six informative e-booklets tailored to their needs, alongside monthly e-newsletters packed with seasonal tips and resources. Participants also gain access to information about local community events, fostering connection and engagement. Enrollees who provide their phone numbers can participate in our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they have the invaluable opportunity to ask diabetes-related questions to American Diabetes Association experts, learn about the crucial connection between diabetes and heart health, and enjoy giveaways designed to enhance their quality of life. Our program prioritizes practical tools and supportive resources to help participants manage their diabetes effectively and thrive in their daily lives.
