Members can receive advice and assistance from our Volunteers at the Centre, and through support groups.


Telephone Assistance

Members are most welcome to call our Drop-in Centre (ph 04 499 5085) and request information, advice, or inquire how to obtain professional services. Queries of a medical nature, or more specialised should be dealt with by the volunteer of duty or referred to the appropriate person or agency.

We have the contact details for Diabetes Nurse Educators, dietitians, pharmaceuticals rep’s, Diabetes Youth contacts. We also have information on the diabetes education classes run by the Diabetes Nurse Educators.
