Who We Are - Youville Diabetes Centre

Education, empowerment, and expertise

“When I was diagnosed with diabetes seven years ago, my doctor gave me medication and instructions to test my blood sugar and to stop eating carbs.  I went online and read articles to educate myself, but I became more confused.  My neighbour told me about Youville Diabetes Centre and I asked my doctor to refer me.  I appreciated their extensive knowledge of diabetes and patience with my many questions.  I now feel like I know how to live with my diabetes each day.
