I need to find a support group for children with juvenile diabetes in San Francisco. Any suggestions?

i have a 12 year old niece who needs to know that she is not alone.

There should be some answers for you throught The diabete association. If that is no help try a social worker at a hospital they should have a link up for you.

Try Craigslist (SF Bay section)
It's best for local connections.

The pediatric endocrinologist will have resources.
Many children's hospitals have support groups for both parents and children.
Check out the ADA and get info on diabetes camps.They are just wonderful.
Most have yearly sessions, some for just kids and some for families.
Good luck.

I'm 15 and have type 1. You could have your neice e-mail me. I'd be happy to talk to by e-mail. i was diagnosed last january. i live in indiana but if she wanted to talk i'd be glad to. my e-mail is presley_graceland_elvis@yahoo.com
