Preamble
Whereas one in four Canadians lives with prediabetes or diabetes, a chronic disease that can result in life-threatening complications if not treated;
Whereas diabetes awareness and education can help people identify early signs of diabetes and thus prevent or delay its onset;
And whereas Canada, the birthplace of insulin — a hormone that plays a key role in the control of diabetes —, seeks to be a leader in promoting diabetes awareness by designating the month of November as Diabetes Awareness Month;
Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada enacts as follows:
Short Title
Short title
