The Honeyzz Diabetes Support Group was a community-focused initiative aimed at supporting people living with diabetes through shared experience, education, and peer support, set up by Windrush Pioneer Denzil Nurse

Groups like this typically bring together individuals who are managing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, along with carers and family members, to create a space where people can talk openly about the challenges of the condition. This can include discussions around blood sugar management, diet, exercise, mental wellbeing, and navigating healthcare services.

Alongside emotional and social support, diabetes support groups often play an important role in improving health literacy—helping members better understand their condition and make informed lifestyle choices. They may also invite guest speakers such as healthcare professionals, nutritionists, or diabetes specialists to provide guidance and up-to-date medical advice.

The Honeyzz Diabetes Support Group reflects a wider movement of local, grassroots health organisations that complement clinical care by focusing on lived experience, connection, and day-to-day support for people affected by long-term conditions.
