Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital Offers Diabetes Support Group

PORTAGE, Wis. – Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital invites all adults affected by diabetes to attend its Diabetes Support Group.

Meetings are held at 1:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month (except holidays) in Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital’s Lower Level Classroom A/B.

The Diabetes Support Group is for adults with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, as well as adults living with someone who has diabetes. Discussion topics include:

  • Nutrition and lifestyle
  • Blood sugar monitoring
  • Stress management and healthy coping
  • Medication management
  • Exercising with diabetes
  • Risk reduction

The Diabetes Support Group enables participants to partner with Aspirus Divine Savior’s medical professionals to better manage their diabetes. It does not replace regular provider visits, but rather complements the care a provider gives and provides participants with ongoing support and education.

Admission is free, and no registration is needed. For more information, call 608-745-5123 or email Emily.Kraemer@aspirus.org.
