The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program based in Colton, SD, is a supportive initiative designed specifically for individuals newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This comprehensive, free program spans 12 months and offers valuable resources in both English and Spanish. Participants receive six informative e-booklets tailored to their individual needs following diagnosis, alongside a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips and community resources. Enrollees can further enrich their experience by submitting their phone number to participate in our monthly Ask the Experts Q&A series, where they can pose diabetes-related questions directly to American Diabetes Association experts, explore the critical connection between diabetes and heart health, and enjoy giveaways aimed at enhancing their journey towards effective diabetes management. Our mission is to empower participants with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive while fostering a sense of community and support.
