also follow the secrecy tradition. Some of diabetes support groups also
raise money for providing free treatment. They disseminate information,
extend cooperation in their battle against disease and recommend new
ways of treatment.

to availability of support groups in a region. Online help is also
available. With the help of Internet you can connect yourself to folks
who are keen to share your disease related problem. If you are unable to
find a suitable support group locally, the option for you is to start up
a support group on your own.
