Whether they’ve had diabetes for years or are newly diagnosed, the Diabetes Support Group offered by Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital offers education and fellowship to adults living with the condition.
Everyone with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or pre-diabetes is invited to attend the free, monthly meetings. Also welcome are adults who live with someone who has diabetes. Support group discussion topics include:
Nutrition and lifestyle
Blood sugar monitoring
Stress management and healthy coping
Medication management
Exercising with diabetes
Risk reduction
“Our Diabetes Support Group enables participants to partner with our medical professionals to better manage their condition,” said Emily Kraemer, Clinical Dietitian with Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital and facilitator of the group. “Meetings do not replace regular provider visits, but rather complement the provider’s care and offer participants ongoing support and education.”
