Diabetes support group

The Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology (CDE) has successfully provided diabetes care excellence to thousands of patients since 1994. "Best Diabetes care principles" are applied, via a team approach, which translates into better health for patients

Diabetes educators will help you learn to take in stride all the things in your day-to-day life that can help control the disease -- like exercise, nutrition, medications, and checking your blood sugar. They may also work with your family so they understand your needs better and can be there to support you.

Youth With Diabetes (YWD) is a non-profit organisation registered with the South African Department of Social Welfare. We were founded in 2005 by Sister Hester Davel and Prof David Segal in Johannesburg. Since our establishment, we have empowered thousands of children with diabetes in South Africa and 8 other African countries to live happy, healthy lives. Our objectives include: * Educational weekend camps *Youth leader training *School programme: We train teachers on diabetes and how to support a child with diabetes in their class. *Other initiatives: A Facebook support group; family support days; diabetes research and awareness on World Diabetes day. We also host day camps, where the family and siblings are included. This includes educational games and lots of fun.
