Our Story

In March 2022, a dear family member who was a loving father, son and brother died unexpectedly at age 47 from complications related to undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. We struggled to find a way to channel our immense grief into an agent of change. It was soon thereafter that we committed ourselves to increasing awareness of type 2 diabetes. We began to chart a path that would help others who are at risk or living with type 2 diabetes to better understand the disease, manage it and live healthy and happy lives.  With his unexpected death comes the birth of the Type 2 Diabetes Center.

Type 2 Diabetes Center serves as a gateway for increasing awareness, getting smarter and designing and adopting patterns of behavior that will help each person-whether at risk or dealing with diabetes- to manage the disease through awareness, education and lifestyle changes.
