THANK YOU from Team Diabetes for another successful year and helping us lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure!
You have made a huge difference in the lives of more than 9 million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes by supporting Team Diabetes and the Canadian Diabetes Association as a participant, donor, sponsor or volunteer.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our many new and exciting events in the coming year.
Have a very happy and healthy holiday season, and thank you once again!

When Adam Penner needed a summer job after his first year of university, he found himself working at a daycare down the street from his home.

There he met Erica, a girl who had been living with Type 1 diabetes since she was 11 months old.

“I watched her test herself every day to see if she could eat dessert or not,” Penner said.

James Maas, Cornell University psychology professor and sleep expert states: “Most adults function best on 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep, but runners – especially those training intensely – can benefit from more. Yet, many North Americans are sleep-deprived.  Recent American research indicates that 71% of Americans get less than the 7.5 hours nightly, with one third sleeping less than 6 hours on average.
