If you live with diabetes, we have resources and support that can help.

Diabetes Education Centre (DEC)

Osler's DEC offers counselling and support for people with:

  • type 1 diabetes
  • type 2 diabetes (on insulin or insulin pump)
  • gestational diabetes

We can help you and your family understand diabetes and learn how to self-manage the disease. At the DEC, you can learn how to:

  • test your blood sugar levels
  • take insulin
  • manage medications
  • make healthy food choices
  • lead a more active life

DEC services

A diabetes nurse and dietitian will assess your health and provide education tailored to your needs. Other services include:

  • appointments conducted in-person, virtually or by telephone
  • insulin pump training
  • insulin adjustment classes
  • gestational diabetes classes
  • paediatric diabetes program
  • transitional program for young adults moving from a paediatric program
  • referral to a social worker
  • in-services provided to schools and daycares (in-person or virtually)
  • in-services provided to health care providers (hospital or community)

Please note:

  • You will need a doctor's referral for DEC services
  • DEC services are available by appointment only
  • Interpretation services are available

DEC services are available at two locations:

Centre for Complex Diabetes Care (CCDC)

  • offers access to a team of diabetes experts. This includes an endocrinologist, nurse practitioner, certified diabetes educator, registered dietitian, social worker and pharmacist

Any family doctor or medical specialist in the community we serve can refer you to the CCDC.

Ontario Telemedicine Network Retinal (OTN) screening program

Retinopathy is a complication of diabetes. Through retinal screening and treatment, we can prevent blindness in up to 90 percent of those affected.

The retinal eye screening program offers people with diabetes timely access to retinal eye screening. Your doctor will send you to a local OTN site, where you will have digital pictures taken of your eye. An ophthalmologist will then review the images and provide any treatment recommendations to your doctor.

Location:

Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness
20 Lynch Street, Brampton
Level 2 Zone C, Room 202
905-863-2561

If you have prediabetes or are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes, this is the program for you! No referral is needed. Sign up for the Sun Life At-Risk Diabetes Initiative.
