The Diabetes Educator Section, a multi-
disciplinary professional section of the Canadian Diabetes Association,
will provide Diabetes Educators and other health care professionals with the knowledge for the prevention,
early identification and optimal management of diabetes through professional education,
accessible support and consultation, advocacy and research
Mission
The Canadian Diabetes Association is proud to
be a leading supporter of diabetes research in Canada.
Since 1975 and the establishment of the Charles H.
Best Research Fund – named for insulin co-discoverer and Association co-founder Charles Best – the Association has awarded more than $95 million in research grants to scientists who have dedicated themselves to the fight against diabetes.
History
High cholesterol usually refers to high LDL
(“bad”) cholesterol. The main goal is to lower LDL-cholesterol . Check with your health care provider to find
out if you should be on medication to accomplish this.
Weight management , healthy eating and regular physical activity
will also help you reach this goal. This pamphlet will help you make healthy
choices
Goals
There has been a 10-to-30 fold increase in American
children with type 2 diabetes in the past 10 to 15 years.
Most of these children are from ethnic groups at high risk for type 2 diabetes, i.e. African,
Hispanic and Asian descent. Given that 77 per cent of new Canadians are from these populations,
the rate of type 2 diabetes in this country is expected to skyrocket in coming years
Statistics
