Check out our group for New England
. You might find people that lives nearby you. There is a meet up in Boston scheduled for this summer. For details, click here.

Also, JDRF sometimes organizes programs. Click here for the New England site.

You can also ask your endo if they know of support groups nearby. Often people give flyers to the doctors office or sometimes the doctors even organize support groups.

Also, for online support, we have a group for parents of kids with type 1.

Hope this helps! Know that you are not alone!
