How do I speak to another patient with Diabetes regarding their experiences?
A3) Brent Primary Care Trust currently runs Diabetes Educational Group sessions for patients and carers with DM. As well as the educational component, you will meet and be able to share experiences with other members of the group. There is also a Diabetes Support Group run by Gloria Travers, (0208 901 1150) which is held at Chalkhill Tenant’s Hall on the last Wednesday of every month. There is different guest speakers talking about all aspects of Diabetes management, and participants get the opportunity to ask questions, talk to other diabetes patients, and make new friends. Diabetes UK which is the charity for diabetic patients also has local groups which meet regularly and offer support to diabetics, check out their Website (www.diabetes.org.uk) to see if there is a local group in your area that meets regularly.
