Physicians and Educators

The Canadian Diabetes Association promotes the health of Canadians through diabetes research, education, service and advocacy.

Canadian Health Network
The Canadian Health Network (CHN) is a growing network, bringing together the best information resources of leading Canadian and international health organizations.

Pump Clubs

There are several ways to find other insulin pump users. Ask your Disetronic Representative or your healthcare team about pump clubs of which they may be aware. The internet is also a valuable resource for contacting pump users by conducting searches and viewing sites like Insulin Pumpers at www.insulin-pumpers.ca.

Insulin-Pumpers Canada
Insulin Pumpers Canada began in May 2001, as Insulin Pumpers Nova Scotia, and began as a support group for people who were using insulin pump therapy for themselves or their children and as an information source for people interested in insulin pump therapy. Insulin pumpers Canada is not affiliated with any pump company. They seek to fill the void between what medical professionals can do for insulin dependent diabetics and what people who use insulin pumps require in order to optimize their blood glucose control and quality of life by effectively utilizing the insulin pump.
