Diabetes Education

One of the goals of this cross-country roller skiing journey across Canada is to help raise awareness about Diabetes and how it can be prevented and treated. Diabetes Mellitus is a serious disease that, when it runs full course, can result in disability and death.

The good news is, the onset of Diabetes can be prevented and, even if a person does have it, it is very treatable! A person with full-blown Diabetes can live a long and healthy life with proper blood sugar management.

Please read through the following information on Diabetes to learn about how you can help prevent it in not only yourself but your friends and family as well. We will also provide you with resources on where you can go to learn even more about Diabetes and how you can donate to help with Diabetes research.
