The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Leakesville, MS, is dedicated to supporting individuals who have recently received a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. This free, inclusive program offers valuable resources in both English and Spanish, guiding participants through diabetes management over a comprehensive 12-month journey. Enrollees will receive six informative e-booklets designed to address their specific needs following diagnosis, along with a monthly e-newsletter that provides seasonal tips, resources, and updates on local community events. Our program fosters a sense of community by inviting participants to join our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A sessions, where they can engage directly with professionals from the American Diabetes Association, learn about the critical connection between diabetes and heart health, and enjoy giveaways to support their wellness journey. We prioritize practical assistance and encourage everyone to take proactive steps towards better health with diabetes management.
