What can I use the Online Support Group for?

You can use the online support group to learn more about diabetes, to ask questions, to share your experiences and to support each other.

To learn about diabetes: We will regularly post discussions, videos and share links with information about diabetes. You can find these on your group stream. You can also learn from others in the group by reading about their experiences when they write posts or comments.

To ask a question or share your experience: You can write your own post or leave a comment where you can share your own experience or ask a question to the dietitian and the group.

To support each other: You can show your support for each other by "liking" other people's posts and comments using the little "heart" button below their post/comment. You can also write your own comments to reply to their posts.

Who is the online community for?

This Online Support Group is for people who are doing the online DISCOVER DIABETES - Type 2 course. Only some of the online diabetes courses have been invited to join this support group for now. You will have been told in your online sessions if you are one of these groups.
