OUR SUPPORT GROUPS:
TYLER TYPE ONE DIABETES FOUNDATION

If you live with Type 1 diabetes, you know that it is a daily, relentless challenge. It can be very frustrating in the short term, and frightening in the long term. Our mission at Tyler Type One Diabetes Foundation is to better equip insulin dependent people in East Texas, to live longer, healthier lives. Continued education and support is an important part of realizing this mission, so we are pleased to now offer a monthly support group to provide an opportunity to learn more and experience greater success in managing life with Type 1 diabetes.

When: The 3rd Thursday of every month,
from 7:00-8:30pm.
Where: Calvary Baptist Church, located at 6704 Old Jacksonville (click here to view map)

Each month we have a special speaker that will be helpful for Type 1 families in managing their diabetes. Some months may feature a pump rep, diabetes educator or nutrition specialist. Refreshments and occasional door prizes provided. Adults and children living with diabetes (and their siblings) are welcome to attend, however please be aware that some topics may be disturbing and best introduced to them when they are older. That is why we meet separately as adults. There will be supervised activities with children and youth while adults are in class. Experienced type 1 parents are always with the children. You will enjoy meeting and getting to know other children and families with Type 1.
