Why Lace Up?

Diabetes affects individuals, families, and communities across Canada. The event highlights the importance of awareness, education, healthy living, and supporting those affected by diabetes.

According to the event information, someone in Canada is diagnosed with diabetes every 3 minutes.

With your support, Diabetes Canada is working towards a vision of a world free from the effects of diabetes by:

• Advocating through public policy, including the new Framework for Diabetes
• Improving the quality of life of people living with diabetes
• Sharing knowledge and connecting individuals with healthcare professionals
• Funding research to improve treatments and find a cure to end diabetes
