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.”
