Diabetes Support Group

    In addition, we also offer a Diabetes Support Group. It is a community service open to all people with diabetes and their family members at no cost. Meeting with others who are in the same situation offers the opportunity to share feelings and gain valuable tips. Studies show that attending a diabetes support group can help reduce stress and have a positive effect on the health of those with diabetes. The diabetes educators at Bothwell Regional Health Center lead the support group by supplying a special level of expertise. There are guest speakers, often healthcare professionals, who offer their unique perspective on diabetes issues.
    Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at Bothwell Regional Health Center in the third floor classroom.
