Welcome...

Diabetes New Zealand - Waikato Youth is a volunteer organisation dedicated to providing support for children and young people with diabetes and their families in the Waikato region. As a group we provide advocacy and support needed to enhance the lives of young people with diabetes. Camps and activities are organised so that young people with diabetes can meet others and parents can have a well-earned break for parents from the worries and stressors of raising a child with diabetes.
