Just-for-Parents Coffees

Take a break from endless finger pokes, precise carb counting, awkward injections, dreaded pump site changes, and sleepy-eyed 2:00 a.m. blood sugar checks etc.

Parents of children with type 1 diabetes in San Diego County have come together to offer these evenings of support where you can learn and share your experiences and challenges with others who are dealing with the same issues. These casual get togethers provide parents with the opportunity to discuss the many facets of parenting a child with type 1 diabetes with others who are are doing the same.

The Parent Coffee Night is not a group of professionals, but of concerned parents who have been where you are and found peace with their new way of living.

Come discuss the challenges and your journey of parenting a child with Type 1. Groups are being held in various locations around San Diego County.

NOTE: Please do not bring children, this is for adults only.
