Description

Diabetes Support Group: Learning you have diabetes is a scary thing. We all know someone who has lost a toe or a foot or a life to diabetes and when the doctor tells us, we have it, many things can happen. We can go into denial, get angry, become depressed, try hard to act as if we don't care. Or we can do the right thing. Find a support group of caring people that understand, research and learn more about the disease, learn about the newest ideas and treatments, find out about pills, insulin, nutrition
