Diabetes Canada: Nova Scotia

Diabetes is well known, but not known well. During Diabetes Awareness Month, Diabetes Canada is hosting a virtual event with our elected officials On Thursday, November 19th at 12:00 noon local time please join your fellow Nova Scotians living with diabetes as we educate our elected officials about the importance of glucose monitoring and how advanced glucose monitoring devices, both continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and Flash glucose monitors, assist many individuals with diabetes to prevent life-threatening emergencies and reduce the risk of serious diabetes-related complications. The event will be streamed on Facebook Live from our National Diabetes Canada FB page (https://www.facebook.com/DiabetesCanada). I hope you will take this opportunity to join us

Calling all Nova Scotians who are looking for some fun and entertainment to support Diabetes Canada - regardless of where you may live! Our colleagues in MB are hosting the first ever Best Banting Virtual Soiree on November 14th in honor of World Diabetes Day. Although the meals and 50/50 are limited to participants in MB, anyone can bid on the silent auction items, or simply donate and participate in your own way - in pumps or pj's at home. Maybe we'll aim for something similar here in 2021???? #EndDiabetes

As we kick off Diabetes Awareness Month, there is so much to share, to celebrate and yet still so much to do! We're very excited to begin a journey this November that will mark a very special milestone in 2021, and to inspire and invigorate action to help #EndDiabetes. Stay tuned!

Huge thanks to all Diabetes Educators on this day! This amazing, intrepid, dedicated group of healthcare professionals are so vital to all those who are living with diabetes, and they make a world of difference to so many!

Today marks the kick off for Diabetes Awareness Month - a time for communities across the country to help raise awareness and urge action that we need to work t...ogether to #EndDiabetes. Canada can no longer afford to ignore the impact of chronic health conditions on individuals, families, our health-care system and the economy. With the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin on the horizon in 2021, it is our time to stand up to the diabetes epidemic and finally END the disease that has taken the lives of too many. Join us this November to end diabetes together! #EndDiabetes #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #Diabetes #DiabetesAwareness #DiabetesCure #DiabetesSupport #DiabetesInformation #Eduction #Research #Advocacy
