November is Diabetes Awareness Month – a time to raise awareness, share knowledge, and support the millions of people living with diabetes.

This year’s theme, “Wellbeing in the Workplace,” focuses on creating safe, inclusive, and understanding work environments where people with diabetes can thrive in health, confidence, and community.

Most adults living with diabetes are of working age, which means our workplaces play an important role in supporting health and wellbeing for everyone. Together, we can foster understanding, flexibility, and a culture that helps employees feel supported and valued.

This month, we encourage conversations about:
• Building inclusive and supportive workplaces for employees with diabetes 
• Promoting healthy lifestyle choices and stress management
• Reducing stigma through education and empathy

Throughout November, we’ll be sharing RESOURCES and activities that highlight how supportive workplaces make a difference in the lives of people living with diabetes.

Ask a Diabetes Nurse – Wednesday, November 12

Have questions about diabetes? Visit your nearest nursing station, health centre, or hospital to take part in a telehealth event and connect directly with a diabetes nurse.

Together, let’s continue building communities – and workplaces – that support wellbeing for everyone.
