Type 2 Diabetes

Family and Friends

Type 2 diabetes affects the family and friends in different ways. Educating close relatives and friends about the condition can make living with Type 2 diabetes much easier for the person with the condition. Support groups are a valuable source of information and peer support for those living with the condition as well as their carers. Participants discuss the importance of their loved ones in managing Type 2 diabetes.

These Speaking From Experience Type 2 diabetes video clips offer firsthand accounts from seven people living with Type 2 diabetes. They discuss the impact that Type 2 diabetes has had on their lives.
