Children’s Diabetes Support Group

Your child was diagnosed with diabetes and your world has been turned upside down. Where do you go from here? How do you handle the responsibility? How do you help your child live life to the fullest?

Diabetes often redefines the lives of the children and their families, impacting every aspect of their lives. New roles and responsibilities are placed on the family and changes made to cope with the condition.

The support group provides children with diabetes and their families a platform for mutual support and interaction. It offers families the opportunity to meet and share their experiences with each other.

Members of the support group meet every three to four months – usually during the school holidays – for informal get-togethers and continuing education, conducted by the Diabetes Multi-disciplinary Team.

This support group is headed by Diabetes Nurse Joyce Lim and strongly supported by the team. For further enquiries, feel free to call
