Welcome to The Diabetes Support Group in the greater Richmond community!

We are a diverse group of people affected by diabetes who gather monthly to support each other, learn from experts, and share experiences.

Our support group is open to Type I and Type II diabetics of all ages and their families, parents, children, siblings, friends, colleagues and anyone else who wants to help them manage their diabetes.  We encourage a positive attitude and proactive management of the disease.

Meetings typically consist of two components. A health, lifestyle or other professional will introduce the month's topic during the first 30 minutes. The program leaders then facilitate a 45-minute group session of sharing experiences, solutions, and best practices.

 
Our support group is lead by non-medical professionals. Individual participants should seek appropriate medical attention, and follow the orders of those medical professionals.
