Diabetes Auckland Support Groups

A Diabetes Support Group can provide an opportunity for people with diabetes to share similar experiences, generate hope for the future, laugh about the black humour aspect of their lives, arrange social activities and have fun together.

 

Diabetes Auckland is committed to keeping its support groups up-to-date with all the latest information and trends by providing monthly newsletters and quarterly training with peer support for its team of volunteer Co-ordinators.

 

Your first 3 visits will be free and thereafter a $2 donation per visit is requested to cover the costs of the Group ($5 for non-members of Diabetes Auckland).
