Northern Rivers Diabetes Support Groups
Support groups for people with diabetes provide an opportunity and a forum to meet and discuss diabetes with others who are living with the same issues in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
Support groups can be Diabetes Australia NSW Support Group or a more informal group who meet on a regular basis. The emphasis is on an organised social gathering and meetings would normally contain an education session, information about diabetes related issues and the opportunity to be involved in raising the awareness of diabetes and the risk factors for their families and the general community.
