Previous reviews highlight the efficacy of lifestyle diabetes prevention programs in decreasing type 2 diabetes risk, but the participating populations were predominantly white. Read more about our work to improve access and reach for diverse populations: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Getting diabetes prevention programs out to the people who need them—such as the millions of Canadians per year at risk of developing type 2 diabetes—is the reason that Dr. Mary Jung is currently spending as much time at the YMCA as she is in the lab. cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/54186.html

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay! Our campaign this year focuses on diabetes and well-being. While diabetes can shape people’s lives, it does not define them. As they navigate challenges, from daily management to emotional tolls, they remind us that behind the strength are real struggles. It’s time to put well-being at the heart of diabetes care and start the change we need for a better #DiabetesLife. Support the campaign at worlddiabetesday.org
