Circle of Friends
When you join the Circle of Friends, you will be:
- Continuously involved in supporting Diabetes Québec in its fight against diabetes;
- Helping Diabetes Québec fulfill its mission;
- Helping reduce our administrative costs so we can offer even more services.
In addition to the specific benefits of your type of membership (Individual or Health Professional), as a Circle of Friends member, you will:
- Be notified about all major news relating to new medications and the results of our political lobbying efforts;
- Appear on the annual honour roll in our magazine Plein Soleil and on our website;

The residual amount will be considered a donation, for which you will receive a tax receipt.
