Living with Type 1 diabetes can be an isolating experience. Between the day-to-day demands of checking blood glucose, managing insulin, and attending to other aspects of your health, you may feel alone with this illness or burned out living with it. Talking with other people who live with diabetes can help you to feel more connected, empowered, and motivated. By joining with others living with Type 1 you will have an opportunity to share information, experiences, and challenges with people who understand the illness first hand.

This support group will be facilitated by Aaron Price, LICSW and is open to any Joslin patient 18 or older living with Type 1. Please note that insurance will be billed for the session and that regular co-pays apply. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before the group so that sessions can begin on time.

Joslin Pediatrics invites families to the 17th Annual Teddy Bear Clinic


The Teddy Bear Clinic is an opportunity for young patients, their friends, and their families to explore health care experiences and to learn about diabetes and healthy habits. Children can bring their favorite stuffed animal or get a new bear to take home from the Joslin team – children will care for their bears as they visit many medical stations. There will be lots of fun with learning activities, crafts, and prizes.

We hope you can join us for this FREE event!

Please RSVP by March 27th to childlife [at] joslin.harvard.edu

Joslin offers classes and support groups for the caregivers of pediatric patients.

These classes cover the basics of diabetes, how to manage the condition, and technologies used in its treatment. Many caregivers in our community find support, strength, and hope as they connect with other families and learn age-appropriate techniques for managing diabetes.

Upon completion of the Diabetes 101 class, the participant will be able to:

• Define and understand type 1 diabetes and symptoms
• Describe treatment options for childhood diabetes
• Describe how food impacts diabetes management
• Identify approaches of managing diabetes within the child’s and families’ lifestyle

Joslin's Diabetes Outpatient Intensive Treatment (DO IT) is a four-day intensive outpatient program for individuals with any type of diabetes mellitus; includes individual attention and small-group education; provides a personalized diabetes management plan.

The program is results-oriented and utilizes the latest diabetes research and expertise to improve your control and put you on track for a healthier tomorrow.

For information about DO IT, or information on lodging if you will be travelling to Boston for DO IT, call 617-309-2628 or email doit [at] joslin.harvard.edu.
