Support groups
A vital part of managing diabetes is having adequate support from others.
Offered at multiple locations including Elmhurst and Swedish Hospitals, our diabetes support groups are free and open to adults with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. Groups meet monthly, in person or virtually, and cover topics like lifestyle changes, emotional well-being and new research. You’ll hear from guest speakers, meet others living with diabetes and get questions answered in a supportive environment.
