Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

How did you find this site? For me I was looking for support for type 2 diabetes because I could not find a support group in my area and googled diabetic support. DS popped up. I am Thankful for all the wonderful people I have met.

I was looking for diabetic support as well. I found it by going to www.ask.com and up it popped. Love this site! It has issues, but I believe it's a fairly new site and they are making improvements all the time! Way to go DS!

I found D.S. by accident when I was researching disability online. I'm so glad I found it.

I found this site through my county health department website. I visited several other sites and by far this is the best. With my crazy work schedule, DS is my best support. Glad you found us.

Hi Sunset :)

I found DS the same way you did too. There are support groups where I live but for newbies to diabetes. I've been to all the classes at my health care provider so....I took a chance online and poof...DS!

Take Care :)

I have learned a lot here and made some friends.
It's a blessing
