Every five years, since 1998, the Canadian Diabetes Association has published recommendations for healthcare professionals for the prevention and management of diabetes in Canada. These guidelines, called the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Diabetes in Canada, are developed under the umbrella of the Clinical & Scientific Section of the Canadian Diabetes Association. The guidelines are developed by a team of expert volunteers, and are published by the Association in the Canadian Journal of Diabetes.

Walk or run with Team Diabetes in Edinburgh, the “Athens of the North”! Perhaps best known for its formidable castles such as Edinburgh and Craigmillar, by the late 18th century many new public buildings were built in the Greek neo-classical style. This, in addition to being one of the historical centres of the Age of Enlightenment, gave rise to the nickname ‘Athens of the North’. Outside the city, the landscapes are just as striking as the architecture. From the East Lothian beaches to the Pentland Hills, the beauty of the Scottish countryside is truly captivating. Whether your interests take you to the many historical sites, off the beaten path or a combination of both, Edinburgh and area is a destination not to be missed.
