A NEW diabetes support group is being launched in Newquay.

Jacqui Robins, a health coach at Newquay Health Centre, has started the group for people with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

The meetings will be staged on the first Monday of every month at The Oasis, Newquay Methodist Church on Pargolla Road between 2.30pm and 4pm.

The group, which is being supported by Diabetes UK, will have guest speakers, offer practical tips and provide an opportunity to connect with people who understand.

Jacqui Roberts said: “People are welcome to attend whether they are newly diagnosed or have been managing diabetes for years.

“There will be an opportunity to hear from local health and wellbeing professionals.

“Come along for a chat and a cuppa.

“Family and friends are welcome.”
