joining a local diabetic group

What area is this available too?

I'm guessing it's only available to a certain part of the country?

Hi Roger,
I am in a different area, so can't attend. There is a similar group here..and I am full of good intentions to go..but haven't made it yet. The reasons are.

Didn't know that it existed until last year, as it was not advertised at the hospital or the GPs clinic. The GP then did start handing out fliers for teh group, which at least made me aware that it was occuring!

I am T1, and most of the topics are T2 orientated, so I didn't go.

50% of the meetings were during work hours, so I couldn't make it.

I would sy that getting the specialist nurses in teh gp practises on board as advocates for your group would help?
best of luck,
S
