Diabetes is a 24/7 disease and that means making important management decisions anytime, anywhere. Working with a diabetes care and education specialist or other healthcare professional is key but so is connecting with others who have the disease.
Peer support communities, both online and in-person, can help fill in the gap of continuing support. These organizations, online forums, Facebook groups and others offer a sense of community and outlet of support for the day-to-day challenges of managing diabetes.
