Diabetes Awareness
For Diabetes Awareness Month, we turned over our Everyday Recipes section to Diabetes Canada. They have provided the following message plus five delicious, healthy recipes.
For the close to 11.5 million Canadians affected by diabetes and those who care for them, Diabetes Awareness Month is a time to shine a light on the impact of the disease through the voices of those living with diabetes, health-care providers and supporters. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Canadian discovery of insulin. Since the discovery, there have been huge strides and key advances in mapping and understanding diabetes and its complications. Insulin is a game-changer for those living with diabetes. However, it is not a cure. To honour the legacy of insulin’s co-discoverers – Banting, Best, Collip and Macleod – this month, Diabetes Canada is urging Canadians to take action to End Diabetes. Every action counts: helping dispel myths sometimes associated with diabetes; donating towards diabetes research; advocating for improved access to medications, devices and supplies; or attending an education session to enhance learning about diabetes management – all collective actions help get us closer to ending diabetes. Help achieve 100,000 actions to End Diabetes during the month of November and let Diabetes Canada know what you’re doing by visiting the website at Diabetes.ca.
