November is National Diabetes Month. The Knoxville Hospital and Clinics has a support group that helps people deal with diabetes.

Susie Roberts with the hospital, tells KNIA/KRLS News what diabetes is, “Diabetes is a chronic condition. The simplest  way to describe it is it impairs how your body turns food, meaning what you eat and drink, into energy.”

The diabetes support group discusses how to deal with diabetes which is a day in and day out disease to battle daily. The support group at the hospital is a fairly new group. The schedule for spring meetings will be determined soon.
