Diabetic Support Group

Bristol Hospital is pleased to offer two different support groups for those facing diabetes. The morning support group is not only for those with diabetes, but their family and friends as well. The meetings are facilitated by Karen Cornell, LCSW and meets at the Bristol Hospital Center for Diabetes (Dr. Vijay Joshi's office) from 11AM to noon. Meeting dates are:
*May 22: Demystifying Motivation
*June 26: Diabetes Super Foods
*July 24: Updating Your Coping Skills
*August 28: Carbohydrate Management
Research shows that ongoing support is necessary for continued and effective diabetes management. For patients whose schedules make it impossible to attend our monthly day support group, the Bristol Hospital Center for Diabetes is starting an evening group complete with weigh-ins and forums on diabetes management. Get control of your diabetes in an interactive, social setting. Meeting times are from 6:30-7:30. Instructors: Miles Everett, RD, RN, CDE, and Katherine Kreh, RD.
*May 2
*June 6
*July 11
*August 1
Both support groups are free. The Bristol Hospital Center for Diabetes is located at 102 North Street, behind Best Cleaners, Bristol, CT. Call 860-940-6300 for more information.
