Diabetes Support Group
A free, monthly support group for adults (18+) enables participants to learn more about their condition and share their experiences with others. The group is facilitated by a Valley Home Care registered dietitian and takes place virtually via Microsoft Teams.
The adult diabetes support group meets the fourth Thursday of the month (except August and December) from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
