Background

Dan was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1980; a rare diagnosed for an adult. Type 1 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin. Insulin is an important hormone that helps your body to control the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood.

Roughly 10 per cent of people living with diabetes have type 1, insulin-dependent diabetes. Type 1 diabetes generally develops in childhood or adolescence, but can also develop in adulthood. People with type 1 need to inject insulin or use an insulin pump to ensure their bodies have the right amount of insulin.

Type 1 diabetes can lead to a variety of complications, including heart disease & stroke, kidney disease, retinopathy, high blood pressure, nerve damage & amputation and more.

Diabetes Canada works tirelessly to advocate for and support Canadians living with diabetes with helpful resources, education, research, and hopefully one day a cure.
