Living with diabetes can come with many questions and challenges. You don't have to manage it alone.

The Kaweah Health Diabetes Support Group provides a welcoming place to learn about diabetes, share experiences, and connect with others.

Meetings include health education and discussion on topics that can help you better manage your health.

Upcoming Diabetes Support Group Meetings

What We Talk About

Topics vary from meeting to meeting and are peer-driven and selected to improve self-management skills for diabetes care. Education may include:

  • Healthy eating
  • Blood sugar management
  • Physical activity
  • Diabetes medications
  • Preventing health problems
  • Managing diabetes day to day

Our goal is to provide helpful information you can use in your everyday life.

What You Can Expect

A support group can be a helpful way to connect with people who understand what it is like to live with diabetes. At these groups, you can expect:

  • Peer support in a small group atmosphere
  • A caring and safe environment for you to ask questions and learn
  • Hands on educational activities
  • Opportunities to win prizes

You don't have to have all the answers. Come learn and connect at your own pace.

Who Can Attend?

The Diabetes Support Group is for people living with, or affected by, diabetes. Family members, friends, or caregivers are welcome to join and learn about diabetes care to support a loved one.
