The Experiential Diabetes Education Group

The Experiential Diabetes Education Group provides hands-on learning programs for people living with diabetes in Toronto and the GTA. Rather than classroom lectures alone, the organization uses interactive workshops and peer-led sessions to teach practical diabetes management skills. Participants learn about blood sugar monitoring, nutrition planning, physical activity, and medication management through real-world scenarios and group discussions. The group recognizes that diabetes education works best when people can share experiences with others facing similar challenges. By bringing together individuals at different stages of their diabetes journey, the organization creates a supportive environment where knowledge transfer happens naturally. Programs are designed for both newly diagnosed individuals seeking foundational understanding and those managing long-term complications who want to refine their approach. The group's activities help reduce barriers to quality diabetes care by making education accessible and relevant to Toronto residents.
