Healthy Guidelines

Today, more than 3 million Canadians have diabetes and that number continues to grow every day. To address this epidemic, the Canadian Diabetes Association's 2008 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Diabetes in Canada (2008 Guidelines) emphasizes early identification and aggressive management of diabetes.

The CPG Tool Kit for the Prevention and Management of Diabetes in Canada is a handy reference that translates a comprehensive collection of the six major themes from the 2008 Guidelines.

Every six months for the next few years, the Canadian Diabetes Association will issue an update to the Clinical Practice Guidelines Tool Kit. Each update will consist of practical information as well as an accompanying tool to help patients incorporate diabetes management strategies into their lifestyle.

Subsequent themes will be released as they become available.
