In-Person Support With Friends

We’re all about keeping things warm and welcoming, with a toolbox full of resources to help you on your diabetes journey. We hold fun, in-person meetups (versus virtual meetings) and social events where you can spend time with others who truly understand you.  From newly diagnosed, to living with T1D for 60 years, we speak the same language!

Managing Type 1 Diabetes is tough, but aging with it presents a whole new set of unique obstacles. Sandy said it best, “I have been alone with this disease for 45 years. I longed for an age-appropriate group to fit into. I am grateful for this group!”

You belong! Emotional support for diabetes goes a long way. No judgements here! We share experiences. Talk about options for insulin therapy, the latest diabetes management tools, or simply what your favorite low blood sugar go-to is.

Often times, it’s not even about diabetes, instead it is a group of friends having fun!
