Diabetes Bus Community Support Groups: Reaching Communities Project tries to tie everyone to a local diabetes support group. If you would like information on groups in your area, please contact us.
Goals of Diabetes Support Groups sponsored by DMS:
- to encourage diabetes self care
- to form health care partnerships
- to increase knowledge
- to enhance well being
- to foster empowerment
|
Support Groups can do many things for people living with a chronic illness.
- make you feel that you are not alone.
- make you laugh.
- allow opportunities to learn from others.
|
What our support groups are NOT:
- We don’t make anyone talk about their feelings, unless they want to.
- We don’t dwell in sorrow about having diabetes.
- We don’t lecture or find fault.
|
We hope we have a diabetes support group for YOU. If not, why not start one in your own community with our help? e-mail us at: info@thediabetesbus.org
