This health centre has been developed by women health professionals for women with diabetes. It is intended to help you better understand how diabetes affects you as a woman and how best to manage it.

Whether you have just been diagnosed with diabetes or you have lived with the condition for many years, your concerns are probably much the same – to learn to live a full and healthy life with diabetes.

Understanding how diabetes affects you will give you an increased sense of confidence and comfort, and can help you achieve a full and balanced life. This health centre focuses on topics such as menstruation, birth control, pregnancy, menopause, preventing heart disease, osteoporosis, body image and sexuality.

For a broader perspective on diabetes and diabetes management, we recommend other reputable diabetes websites, such as the Canadian Diabetes Association or the American Diabetes Association.
