Support Groups

Our support groups offer not only different speakers and information at every monthly meeting, but also a great place to come together with others that are going through similar situations. If you are after somewhere where you can go with no judgement, a listening ear and meet new people our coordinators would love to hear from you.

The Diabetes NZ Auckland Branch network of support groups spreads across the Auckland region. If you would like to attend a meeting, please call the coordinator below. If you would like to start your own support group or require further information on any of the groups below, please contact us on 09 622 0551 or email office@diabetesauckland.org.nz
