About

To address challenges commonly faced by people living with type 2 diabetes, American Diabetes Association created Ask the Experts Q&A, a free educational series focused on diabetes management and the relationship between diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and heart failure. Open to all, participants can ask their questions to diabetes experts in a live Q&A session online or on the phone. Events are currently scheduled monthly through December 10, 2019. Register for free at diabetes.org/experts, call 1-800-DIABETES (800-342-2383), or text EXPERTS to 828282 to sign up for the series.

Getting and Giving Support: Having diabetes can be overwhelming at times. Learn how to ask for support from family, friends, and health care providers, as well as ways to provide support to a loved one with diabetes.
