Do you or someone you know have type 1 diabetes? Then why not come along to a new free Diabetes Support Group starting in Dundee.

The first meeting will be on Thursday, 2 October at 6.30pm in the Strathmore Diabetes Centre (level 7) at Ninewells Hospital.

The aim of the support group is to provide a friendly informal opportunity for people living, or recently diagnosed, with type 1 diabetes to share their experiences and stories.

As this is a new support group those attending will help shape the group’s future including voting for the group’s name at the first meeting.

Remember this group is all about you - giving you the opportunity to connect, find your community and create a meaningful group.

So come along for a cup of tea and a chat whether you are newly diagnosed or have lived with type 1 for years, everyone is welcome - no need to book!
