The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Smithfield, VA, is dedicated to supporting individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes through a free, comprehensive 12-month journey of education and self-management. Crafted to meet participants where they are, this program offers six informative e-booklets covering essential diabetes management topics, alongside a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips in both English and Spanish. Participants also gain access to valuable information about local community events. By providing their phone number, enrollees can join our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they can engage with ADA experts, ask diabetes-related questions, learn about the important connection between diabetes and heart health, and even enjoy giveaways designed to help them thrive on their diabetes journey. Our mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate life with type 2 diabetes confidently.
