Peer Support is all about bringing people with diabetes
together in their local area to share experiences of living with the condition
and to get practical tips from each other about how to live well. We are aiming
to work with local GP surgeries to create a number of peer support groups which
will be led by the peer support facilitator. These groups can also be set up in
different settings i.e universities, workplaces. These volunteers are people
like you, with lived experience of diabetes who can organise the sessions,
facilitate group discussion and signpost people to useful services and
information in their locality.
Diabetes UK Cymru are focusing a lot of their work on
peer support in 2018 and to make it a success we need people like you!
