Communities for diabetes

Communities for diabetes

Every year, thousands of our dedicated volunteers go door-to-door to raise awareness about diabetes and to fundraise in their neighborhoods. Many of them have been affected by diabetes in some way. With more than 9 million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes, chances are it affects you or someone you love.

Working together as neighbours, we can make a difference in the lives of people living with diabetes in your community.
