The Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program in Bay City, MI, is a supportive and educational resource designed for individuals recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This comprehensive, free program guides participants through a structured 12-month journey of learning about diabetes management, available in both English and Spanish. Enrollees receive six informative e-booklets tailored to post-diagnosis needs, as well as a monthly e-newsletter filled with seasonal tips, resources, and information on local community events. Participants who share their phone numbers are also invited to join our monthly 'Ask the Experts' Q&A series, where they can connect with diabetes specialists to ask questions, learn about the connection between diabetes and heart health, and receive helpful giveaways. Our mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive and manage their diabetes effectively in a welcoming environment.
