Happy holidays to DNIG members across Ontario.
We are grateful for all those members practicing in diabetes or with an interest in it. For those living with diabetes and those yet to live with it, having a nurse on their team changes that experience for the better. It is imperative that the nursing voice is strong as we do research, provide care and write policy for this disease that can have devastating consequences.
This is the final reminder for the Diabetes Nursing Interest Group Virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2023 on Thursday, November 30 at 7 p.m. During this virtual evening event, you'll meet your interest group executive and be updated on DNIG activities, vote on by-laws and be given time to voice your questions/concerns.
Please attend to have your say and cast your vote.
