Happy Leap Year!

Even with the extra day of February, it seems like the semester is flying by! We hope that you all have a fun and safe spring break, and that your low supplies are well stocked with leftover valentines day candy :)

 

Happy Bolusing!

New Chapters!


We are excited to announce that students at Western University Canada & University of Cincinnati are now creating CDN chapters!

New Partners!

 

Safesittings
We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Safesittings.com, an online type 1 diabetes babysitting resource which connects families with babysitters experienced with type 1 diabetes. Safesittings was founded by Kim Ross who is now a recent college graduate herself.  Through our partnership, we are excited to provide our members with access to Safesittings, through which they can find local babysitting opportunities (talk about job security!)

JDCA was founded in 2006 and is a 501c3 non-profit with the sole purpose of directing donor contributions to the charitable organizations that are the most effective at allocating funds to research opportunities that maximize chances of curing type 1 diabetes by 2025. They look forward to collaborating with CDN.

Volunteers Needed!

Riding on Insulin is a non-profit whose mission is to provide international ski and snowboarding camps for kids with type 1 and type 2 diabetes with an emphasis on how to manage blood sugars where altitude, climate and humidity all play a role. Riding on Insulin camps are for youth (ages 7-17) with type 1 diabetes, as well as their siblings. Volunteers are always needed!
