Our faith is unwavering that continued basic research will one day lead to a cure for diabetes. And we know from long experience that effective management of diabetes depends upon research. That's why the CDA will remain the largest non-government funder of diabetes research in Canada. The CDA supports the professional training of diabetes researchers through the provision of studentships, fellowships and scholarships at the graduate and postgraduate levels. As knowledge is gained through research, it must be put to work to help manage diabetes.
Effective education is the key.
Educational support for health care professionals begins with their basic training and continues through their professional careers. The CDA is Canada's primary source of authoritative information for people with diabetes and their families. Our ability to respond effectively to the challenge of diabetes depends on a Canadian public that understands the issues, risks, and options. Give to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Your dollars work to support the services and programs that help people with diabetes manage the disease and to fund the ongoing research that is bringing us ever closer to eliminating the suffering caused by diabetes.
