The goal of the Canadian Diabetes Association's web site is to become THE online resource for people with, and affected by, diabetes and for healthcare professionals treating those affected by the disease. It's mission is to improve the health of Canadians by preventing and reducing disability and death from heart disease and stroke through research, health promotion and advocacy. Juvenile Diabetes Foundation of Canada - is an affiliate of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International which was started in 1970, by a group of caring, concerned parents of children with diabetes who saw a real need for an organisation dedicated to finding a cure for this potentially deadly disease. They felt the only way to find a cure for diabetes was if significant funding was put toward diabetes research. Kidney Foundation of Canada - is a national, volunteer organization dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of people living with kidney disease.
NADA is unique.
Rather than spread its resources among many diabetic management and research initiatives, TIF is betting on a single body of research, one which many researchers feel is the most likely to result in a near-term cure. To fulfill this mission, the American Diabetes Association funds research, publishes scientific findings, provides information and other services to people with diabetes, their families, health care professionals and the public and advocates for scientific research and for the rights of people with diabetes. Equal's Diabetes Education - Works with the American Diabetes Association, to provide helpful and current information about diabetes in the Education Center. Joslin Diabetes Center - Joslin Diabetes Center, headquartered in Boston, MA, is a national and international leader in diabetes treatment and research. Joslin is affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
