Support

No-one knows what it's really like to be diagnosed with diabetes, and then to live with it every single day unless they've been through it.

As a Group we try to address the various forms this can take by providing support and events to cover both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in adults and children.

Our general events are open to everyone - whether they have diabetes or not - and are free of charge. Full details are available on the Events page of the website.

The Family Support Group is open to parents, grandparents, carers, anyone who looks after a child with diabetes. We hold informal meetings where we can get together - over a glass of wine or two! - and swap notes, chat about various issues, and generally offer each other some morale support. Full details are available on the Events page.

So if you would like to talk to someone - either for a general chat, to get some more information about the Group and its activities, or you just need to have a moan! - please use the relevant link below:
