We are celebrating the newest inductees to @CWOFame for the discovery of insulin. Dr. Best recognized the need for an org. to advocate for & support Canadians w/ diabetes. He was behind the Diabetic Association of Ontario in the 40’s which led to DC today. dbts.ca/C7GW50H8aot
Unacceptable and yet happening all over ONTARIO. Disconnect between #Health and #Education. All children have a right to be in school. #Disability #Accommodation #diabetes #onpoli @DiabetesCanada @JDRF_Canada @CanPaedSociety @ONTSpecialNeeds @CityNews toronto.citynews.ca/2021/09/…

@celliottability @ONThealth @fordnation @JimMcDonell Many #T1D kids are NOT in school today due to RN shortages. Many would be if they had #CGM4all ! #healthcare #ontario #diabetes #SchoolsReopen cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/m…

The patchwork of provincial and school board policies to keep kids with #T1D or other medical conditions safe at school across 🇨🇦Canada is appaling. The country celebrating 100 years since the discovery of insulin can and must do better.
Young children with type 1 #diabetes need help to give insulin: @nshealth and @nseducation, see @CanPaedSociety recommendations on managing #T1D at school, and diabetesatschool.ca

What an awful story. ☹️ This 5yo is going w/o insulin at lunch & spending afternoons at 15-20 mmol/L (270-360 mg/dl) because the school isn’t required to have anyone to help inject. I know a mom in SK who had to quit her job to go give insulin every lunch. cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…

People with diabetes and other conditions will have access to the COVID vaccine during phase 2 in Ontario. Some great news for the 1.5M people living with diabetes in Ontario.

Schools📚should stay open even if there's a 3rd wave of #COVID19, experts say. Doctors say benefit and necessity of education outweigh risk to kids cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/s… via @cbcnews @kwadwo777 #onpoli

Enhanced safety measures are well in place to keep schools safe.
We will continue to follow the expert advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health.

Absolutely all the studies are pointing to same thing. Scotland and UK experience agrees with our prospective study here. 3+ times increased risk in #T1D. care.diabetesjournals.org/co…

Like so many, I’m working from home while supporting 3 kids who are doing remote learning.
I’m a single mother.
My 5-year-old can’t do this alone.
My 12-year-old needs a chrome book.
My 15-year-old needs extra math help.
It’s only 10am.
It’s going to be a long week.😳
Parents of #T1D! Did you see this letter to Ontario’s parents from the Minister of Education? How is your family navigating the 2020-21 school year thus far? All replies are correct. No wrong answers here.

#MindfulMonday. Accept your thoughts/feelings as they arise in response to daily stressors rather than trying to get rid of them or judging yourself for having them. Acceptance of your inner experience can be learned, practiced and can help you adapt. #mindfulness
