Hello DNIG members,
First of all, we celebrate World Diabetes Day every Nov. 14 – the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922. While we've come a long way since then, there is still very much to do. Thank you to all nurses who contribute in any way to the care of those living with diabetes
Please join us tomorrow at 6:15 p.m. via Zoom as we host Damilola Iduye, PhD candidate, who will discuss her research project titled "Diabetes in African Canadian Populations: Preliminary Findings from a Scoping Review".
All are welcome. Register now - or, people who are not RNAO members (please feel free to share with those whom you might think would be interested in this topic) can contact Lisa at dnig.info@gmail.com.
