Toll-free and online support
Our Info and Referral toll-free help line welcomes questions from anyone living with or affected by diabetes. We encourage you to call if you are newly diagnosed, a family member with questions about a loved one, a health-care professional, at risk of developing diabetes, or just have general questions about the condition.
All calls are confidential.
We are available Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (EST). You can also leave a voice message or send us an email at info@diabetes.ca and we will respond within two business days.

- Respond to general diabetes information and management questions

““My father has lived with complicated diabetes for the last 25 years and there have been many special educators that have left a lasting positive mark on his life. I want to volunteer so that I can do the same for someone else’s father, mother, or loved one.””
Jeannie Spoar, mastered prepared registered nurse and certified diabetes educator
