Family Support

Diagnosis can be emotionally very difficult for the young person and family concerned, with the first few months being a particularly traumatic time. Learning that others have experienced and worked through exactly the same difficulties can be a source of great comfort and encouragement.

The Tayside Diabetes Family Group has been set up by parents whose children have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.  See their Facebook page for more information about the group, or email them via taysidefamilydiabetesgroup@gmail.com.
