Diabetes
Making a Difference
Reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve quality of life for those diagnosed.
Together with other Lions clubs around the world, we have have served over 1.000,000 people through diabetes initiatives.
Diabetes is one of the five core causes of Lions Club International. The International Diabetes Federation reports that 1 in 2 people with diabetes are undiagnosed. Lions recognize the needs of the world are changing, and have championed the cause of diabetes to better serve both our communities and the world.
According to Diabetes Canada and data from the 2019 Diabetes Canada Cost Model , we have come to realize that that rates of diabetes and prediabetes continue to rise. Currently, one in three Canadians has diabetes* or prediabetes. Diabetes is a local, national and global disease that affects millions around the world. This is one of the reasons why Diabetes is a core cause.
Our goal through our global initiatives and Lynn Valley Lions Club contributions is to: Reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve quality of life for those diagnosed.
