Charles Best, one of the discoverers of insulin, was a visionary, who had estimated much earlier on that a great number of people in Canada would be affected by diabetes and related disorders. In accordance, the Diabetic Association of Ontario was established in the late 1940s. Each of the other territories and provinces created their own associations too. This realization is what ultimately led to the founding of the Canadian Diabetes Association in the year 1953.
Starting off in a humble way, this Association is a huge charitable organization, which comprises more than 150 communities in the country. The organization aims at promoting the health of Canadian citizens by way of research in diabetes, education, advocacy and service.
Achievements of the Canadian Diabetic Association
Growing from strength to strength each consecutive year, this organization has achieved success in each of its strategic plans in dealing with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, it has set a detailed agenda on research of diabetes and prevention of Type 2 diabetes in that country.
Diabetes is on the rise the world over. Much of it arises from factors such as obesity, stress, immigration among high-risk groups and so on. Realizing that there would be a possibility of a huge rise in the percentage of people with diabetes in Canada alone, this organization aims to raise all its resources to tackle this problem. It therefore focuses on restructuring itself, becoming more productive, thereby developing a fresh bout of energy each year.
The Association's efforts included:
* Making diabetic drugs more affordable
* Performing extensive research on diabetes, its causes, prevention, management and treatment
* Educating the masses on diabetes by holding cross-country Expos
* Developing a UN Resolution of Diabetes by joining hands with the International Diabetes Federation
Tackling the problem
Almost 2 million Canadian adults and children suffer from diabetes.
* Reserving $6 million to fund research on more than 120 projects
* Giving access to diabetes information through its comprehensive website, newsletters and teaming up with television media and several leading publications such as Reader's Digest, National Post and so on.
* Supporting healthcare professionals by conducting conferences and releasing publications on the subject
* Developing recycling operations in order to enhance funding capabilities
* Improving existing technology
Partnerships
The Canadian Diabetes Association has partnered with many major institutions such as the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, the University of British Columbia and so on, so as to make its presence felt in the field and to support especially those who are insulin dependent and cannot quite afford the cost of medical supplies.
Diabetes is a dangerous, dark devil, which needs to be tackled urgently. Though the Canadian Diabetes Association is doing its level best to control the current situation, it needs your help and support too. Join in today to educate yourself and pitch in your bit!
