The Diabetes Communicator
The Diabetes Communicator is a 16-page newsletter offering information to the Canadian Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Educator Section (DES) members across Canada (approximately 2,600 diabetes educators).
The purpose of Diabetes Quarterly is to inform members of the activities of DES, and to publish relevant, practice-based diabetes education information. Reflective of the DES’ collective identity, The Diabetes Communicator strives to be accountable and accessible to the DES membership.
