The Association’s dedication to helping people with diabetes live healthy lives and its talented and passionate team is truly a winning combination,” said Mike. “The Canadian Diabetes Association has tremendous recognition in both the North American and international healthcare markets. The opportunity is to leverage and grow that awareness and continue to develop innovative programs and services for people living with diabetes and our healthcare professionals.”
