Canadian Diabetes Association

     

We are a member-based, independently governed charitable association, founded in 1953 by Dr. Charles Best, co-discoverer of insulin. The Association’s mission is to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure. Our value driven culture is committed to excellence, partnership, innovation, integrity and respect.

Across the country, the Association is supported in our efforts to lead the fight against diabetes by a community-based network of volunteers, members, employees, healthcare professionals, researchers and partners.

By providing education and services, advocating on behalf of people with diabetes, supporting research and translating research into practical applications – we are delivering on our mission.

The Association is dedicated to advocating on behalf of people with diabetes and giving them a strong voice. Each year, we invest in the best, most innovative diabetes research in Canada. We also bring diabetes research to life by translating our Clinical Practice Guidelines into practical tools for healthcare professionals.

There are many ways you can help us lead the fight. You can set a fitness or fundraising goal by joining Team Diabetes, make a reusable clothing or small household item donation through Clothesline®, become a member, volunteer or simply donate to our cause.
