Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience in setting up a support type group and how to go about it!
I've been diabetic almost 2/3 of my life, I assist a child with diabetes sometimes due to my job.
My friend was diagnosed gestational diabetic and I helped her along the way. She was so grateful for my support and when someone else was having a difficult time she passed my information on. She suggested I set up a group, I would like to predominantly help children and their parents/young adults to begin with.
There is a diabetic group in our area but I never see anything happening! I have spoken to a mother of a newly diagnosed child and she said she has been passed on contact information for other parents but doesn't feel able to contact them, she would rather it in a less formal environment to begin with before phoning someone out of the blue.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice, this is something I would really like to do.
Thanks in advance x
