What do you know about diabetes?

The number of cases of diabetes has exploded in recent years. More than 830,000 Quebecers have it and at least 250,000 of them do not know it!

The percentage of people with type 2 diabetes continues to climb at an alarming rate.

• Diabetes is a deadly and insidious disease.
• Do you know how to recognize the signs?
• Are you at risk?
• Are you diabetic?

What can you do?

Diabetes Québec suggests that you hold a “Diabetes Awareness Activitie” for your organization.

Diabetes Québec can assist you with these available formats:

• A lunch meeting
• An information booth
• A fundraiser
• Targeted screening (blood sugar testing)

These activities are led by healthcare professionals specialized in diabetes.

Together, we can beat diabetes!
