Diabetes Awareness Month

November is Diabetes Awareness Month around the world. One in three Canadians have diabetes, with many cases undiagnosed. This month is an opportunity to raise awareness about the disease and to increase general knowledge about diabetes.

November 14, is recognized as World Diabetes Day. This year the theme is Access to Care: Education to Protect Tomorrow. The Centre for Complex Diabetes Care (CCDC) wants to help you learn the facts about diabetes to better you understand this disease, its management and our local education programs.

The CCDC will be hosting an information booth on November 14 in the TBRHSC main lobby across from Seasons Gift Shop.  Drop by to get information on diabetes, resources to enhance your knowledge, and enter a draw.
