Where to Turn for SupportA diabetes support group gives you a chance to talk to other people with diabetes. You can share concerns, experiences, and tips for solving problems. Your community center, church group, senior center, or hospital may have information about support groups in your area. You can also try your local branch of the American Diabetes Association. |
