Diabetes Scotland Youth Peer Support
Aged 13-24 and have type 1 diabetes? Want to meet new people and get support from your peers?
Our volunteers have been hard at work to get us to this point and are excited to welcome the young people onto our Discord server. The opportunities include:
- Buddying,
- Having zoom calls with people in your local community, and
- Taking part in a National online discussion group.
These opportunities are open to people on an ongoing basis, so please share with anyone aged 13-24 with type 1 diabetes.
