Parent support group SW London

[Salwil]

Does anyone know of a support group for parents of recently diagnosed T1D teenagers in the SW London area? Plenty of online forums but am looking for a real-time face to face group. Any interest?

I'm not a fan of Diabetes UK but I think they do have some local groups that meet in the flesh so to speak. You might find something here.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Salwil

Have you looked at the JDRF site ? They have discovery days where children and adults can meet up: https://jdrf.org.uk/information-support/newly-diagnosed/type-1-diabetes-discovery-days/

Also join Facebook groups as some arrange meet ups, in London I am sure you will find some there.

Just spotted an event on 24th Oct, this would be a fascinating evening to attend: https://jdrf.org.uk/event/type-1-discovery-evening-london-4/ a good way to meet other type 1's and get answers to questions as well as improve your knowledge.
