NETWORK GUIDE This guide will help you find the key contact for your nearest Support Network, a support group for people living with and at risk of diabetes that is run by Diabetes NSW volunteers. When you connect with the Support Network in your local area you will meet each month and participate in various activities in a positive environment where you can make new friends and help others simply by sharing your experiences. Most Support Networks include a guest speaker who is qualified in a field related to diabetes management who will provide the latest industry information. For more information regarding your nearest Support Network or for general enquiries, please contact us on 1300 136 588 or email: supportnetwork@diabetesnsw.com.au. The information contained herein is deemed to be correct as of 21 January 2015. The guide will be updated regularly. Last Updated: 21 January 2015 1 / 6
