A Dose of Diabetes - McMaster Diabetes Association

by Ashley Smith

Through vulnerable and honest conversations, learn from those living with diabetes. Our hope is to build awareness about diabetes, debunk myths, and create an open space where we can celebrate successes and uplift each other during difficult times. Maybe listening to one conversation will expand your perspective and leave you inspired to pursue this cause through further advocacy work.
