We're leading the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while working to find a cure
Our Mission
The Canadian Diabetes Association is focused on its mission – to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure.
Our 2012 – 2014 strategic plan – Lead. Live. Cure., was developed from the insights we collected from our constituents and our external stakeholders. Lead. Live. Cure. outlines a plan that touches every aspect of our organization, all the elements that direct us towards the achievement of our mission.
Lead represents our commitment and the value we deliver in the fight against diabetes. We will continue to be leaders by ensuring that we are effective educators for all our stakeholders and a strong voice for those living with diabetes, and by funding leading-edge research that may lead to the next great medical breakthrough.
Live specifically focuses on our long-term strategy to help people with diabetes live healthy lives. Aspects of our strategy include providing all stakeholders with education, community-based tools, resources and networks; honouring Banting House, a National Historic Site of Canada; and focusing on our camps for children with type 1 diabetes and their families.
Cure stands for our continuing tradition of innovation and excellence as we fund Canada’s most renowned scientists and clinicians in the quest towards a world without diabetes. We will fund unique, clinical and applied research in order to find a cure, and to improve management and treatments.
