Today wraps National Diabetes Awareness Month (NDAM). Hopefully, you’ve learned at least 3 new things through our posts this month.

We can’t let this time of year pass us by without spotlighting the importance of the language we use with our patients, colleagues, friends and family. Words matter.

The team will continue our efforts to educate and advocate all year ‘round, through regular visits, our YouTube channel and annual symposiums. Thank you to all who have been reading and sharing our posts.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month (NDAM).  

Driving is a privilege that we need to respect on any given day. For a person with diabetes, special care needs to be taken to ensure we keep ourselves and others on the road safe. 💙

The team encourages patients to always consider the safety of themselves and others.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month (NDAM)!! 💙 Anyone who has been touched by Diabetes - whether it be a personal diagnosis, a child, a family member or friend - knows the disease has many downsides, or “lows” (pun intended). All too often, it’s hard to flip the script and see the bright side of any chronic illness, but... there ARE perks! And, after everything T1D throws at you, there is no question you should take full advantage!

There are quite a few instances where people living with Type 1 Diabetes get the sweeter end of the deal! A lot of people aren’t fans of the ‘disabled’ label, but it is a reality that can work in your favour, so don’t be shy. Cash in whenever you can... you deserve it!! 👍🏼

Some of the available subsidies and programs were detailed earlier this month on the Government Funding Programs site, but there’s a lot more to explore... check in with the team for more information.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month (NDAM) and the team is sharing tips, tricks & trivia to help raise awareness about life with diabetes.

A diagnosis of diabetes is anything but positive. Most would agree that it is life-changing; not in a good way. However, there are some undeniable ‘perks’ that accompany diabetes management.

Today’s post offers insight into life with diabetes from a person living with diabetes who reflects and shared with us how her journey has benefited her. 💙
