Join us for our diabetes support group where we provide emotional support, resources, and peer connection for individuals as well as caregivers managing diabetes and pre-diabetes. In each support group, we will go over various topics geared toward needs of participants such as resources, advocacy tips, emotional support, peer connection, stress management and healthy lifestyle practices.
Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month, from 5-6 p.m.
Cost: The support group is free to attend in person or virtually via Zoom. Participants are responsible for parking fees; however, the cost of a light dinner is included.
Located at UCI Medical Center, building 22A, 2nd floor, Health Ed Classrooms
