Hi!

I'm in Oz...and have been participating in a monthly drop-in pump clinic, where I wear 3 hats: (1) health professional, (2) Type 1 Diabetes, (3) insulin pump +/- CGM user.

We're looking to modify the format to something more along the lines of a facilitated support group that meets once a month; something that provides a place to disseminate info, allows ppl to chat/vent/chew the fat etc. We have a relatively good health/support service for children with Type 1 in town, but have identified a lack of services for those of us who are have grown up into adults since being diagnosed with Type 1 or those who are diagnosed in adulthood.

I'm sure such groups exist, and would be keen to hear from anyone who's had any involvement in one? eg. what works well? what doesn't? etc etc....

Cheers!

Mari
