The purpose of this meeting is to give all people affected by Type 1 diabetes a chance to meet one another, share their wisdom with the newly diagnosed families, make new friends, and learn from one another.

Madison Area
Meetings will be held the fourth Tuesday of every month, JDRF Office Building (across from Point Cinemas) the second floor conference room, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

We will always try to have teens there to help keep an eye on kids should the parent not feel comfortable leaving their child with a babysitter yet. If you have questions or want to RSVP (RSVP not required), please contact us at the Western Wisconsin Chapter office by phone at 608-833-2873, or email westernwi@jdrf.org.

Baraboo Area
Meetings will be held the third Thursday of each month, at St. Clare Hospital, 6:30-8:00 p.m.

We also have a high school volunteer who oversees and plays with the kids during the meeting so the parents can meet without worrying about their loved one.

We welcome families with all levels of experience with diabetes. If you have questions, please contact Melanie Mielke by phone at 608-356-1510, or email Melanie Mielke RN, Diabetes Educator. Thank you!
