Exploring Policy Options for Better Diabetes Outcomes in Ontario

On November 4, 2014, Diabetes Canada brought together key stakeholders on the forefront of healthy public policy development, clinical change and technological innovation to explore learnings to date and promising approaches to inform policy development in three critical areas:

1. Foot care

2. Optimal blood glucose monitoring and testing

3. Children and youth with diabetes in school

This Diabetes Policy Summit provided a forum for stakeholders in the diabetes community to identify gaps in the care and management of diabetes, as well as share and explore promising solutions to close these gaps in Ontario.
