Group clinics

A new, supportive way to manage your diabetes

We are pleased to offer face-to-face group clinics for eligible people with Type 2 diabetes. These friendly and supportive sessions provide an opportunity to spend more time with your diabetes nurse, learn from others’ experiences, and connect with people who understand the challenges of living with Type 2 diabetes. Research shows that 90% of patients prefer this approach, and patient-led group learning has been proven to significantly improve diabetes self-management.

Our diabetic nurse has recommended a group clinic to you based on your recent results.

You can join in as much or as little as you like — sharing is always optional.

Why people love group clinics:

  • More time with our team
  • A relaxed space to ask questions
  • Helpful tips from others
  • A sense of community
