Bristol Diabetes Support Group
Welcome to our website.
The Bristol Diabetes Support Group has just been formed by people with diabetes to help support people in the Bristol and surrounding South Gloucestershire area.
With the help of Diabetes UK (South West) a meeting was arranged and several volunteers came forward to look at supporting people and carers of people with diabetes.
As the area is quite large, we have decided to set up support groups to cover the areas to the North, South, East and West. We are fortunate that we currently have a support group in the west that is holding meetings regularly at Shirehampton www.shirediabetes.co.uk covering the BS9 and BS11 area.
We have now formed a group to meet on the east side of the area at Kingswood to cover BS5, BS15, and BS16, and our future work is to arrange meetings for people living in the north and south.
Set up a group in your area?
If you would like to help set up a group in your area of Bristol, please contact us and we will arrange a meeting to help, advise and assist.
Diabetes Challenge
TV presenter Dominic Littlewood, who has Type 1 diabetes, is backing leading health charity Diabetes UK in 2010 by calling on others to make their New Year’s resolution a Diabetes Challenge via the leading health charity's new website www.diabeteschallenge.org.uk.
Diabetes Challenge is a fun and interactive website that enables anybody to challenge themselves or someone else to raise funds for Diabetes UK by taking on a given challenge. Challenges can be anything from losing a turkey in weight, being silent at work for an hour to walking the Great Wall of China.
