The Canadian Diabetes Association and member associations across Canada have and continue to understand the value of funding diabetes research. It is such a crucial step in providing these advances and each year the Canadian Diabetes Association funds Canada’s most renowned scientists and clinicians in their quest for new and innovative developments in the prevention, treatment, and management of diabetes all of which every study and researcher remain the same – to improve the quality of life of people living with diabetes and to find a cure.
As result of the Canadian Diabetes National Conference held in February, 2014, local Diabetes Associations have been challenged by the National Association to take back to their respective Board of Directors, …show more content…
Donna Koller, is that there is a real need to share information with children about their diabetes in order to start, at a young age, facilitating self-care. She says, “Research has shown that there was a lack of general knowledge and misconceptions about diabetes” (Koller, 2013).
The real importance of the research is that of self-care. If we expect to make any real strides in combating diabetes then we need to engage children and adolescents. What was promising in her research is that the majority of children were keen to participate in discussions regarding their plans for self-care.
Dr. Ronald Sigal, Faculty of Medicine in Calgary, has conducted research which supports that starting with resistance exercise before aerobic exercise might help to maintain safe blood glucose levels during workouts with those who have Type 1 diabetes. The research team consisted of Dr. Jane Yardley, PhD Studies – University of Ottawa, under the supervision of Dr. Glen Kenny from the University of Ottawa and Dr. Ronald Sigal. Dr. Yarley’s research has focused on providing more evidence that supports the combination of resistance and aerobic exercising as a benefit two blood glucose control. Sigal summarizes by stating the following, “The improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness with aerobic training may be a better predictor of changes in HbA1c than improvements in strength” (Boule, …show more content…
These initiative focus on children, nutrition and Exercise and have encouraged us to use the research results to help establish these new initiatives and build them into current and future budget planning.
There is no doubt that conventional thinking about what we eat has taken us down the wrong path. To dramatically improve Canadian’s healthy lifestyles the Canadian Diabetes Association and members associations across Canada must take a lead role by increasing our educational material and in designing and implementing various programs and special event interests that will generate greater results in managing and controlling and stamping out diabetes in future generations.
With mounting evidence through research and a stronger focus on prevention rather then a cure, Diabetes Associations need to take a call for action to help educate our citizens on how to avoid, reduce and maintain diabetes. To this this end, it is recommended the Glen Morris Diabetes Association build into the upcoming proposed budget process a number of the national diabetes initiatives that were promoted at the
