Support Group

The purpose of the support group, which is to be led by patients and Clinica volunteers concurrently, is to give patients a forum to talk about the issues they face with this serious chronic disease. This will be achieved through patient dialog and the educational efforts of Clinic volunteers.

The support group can serve as a way to learn about different topics that are important to know about, including:

• Nutrition
• Diabetes complications
• Exercise
• Foot care

To be successful, the group should be attentive to patient needs, and always aware of the tribulations of the patient population Clinica Martin Baro serves.
