November is Diabetes Awareness Month. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin right here in Canada – a monumental milestone that changed the lives of generations of people living with diabetes.
We’ve come a long way since then, but there’s still a ways to go to find a cure. Abbott is committed to doing just that, which is why we’re donating up to $10,000 for diabetes research – but we need your help!
Every hour of every day, at least 20 people are diagnosed with diabetes.1 This video highlights how each of our stories is unique. And how we’re all in it together.
Watch it. Share it. Show your support for the diabetes community.
