Maple Diabetes offers individual and group services for people in Kingston that are affected by diabetes, and offers counselling, group programs and family learning programs.  We are funded through Stand Up to Diabetes, a Government of Ontario plan to fight the growing trend of diabetes.  

We are hosted by Maple Family Health Team in Kingston.  We are open to all community members in Kingston affected by diabetes.  Anyone can access our services for free and no referral is required – just call 613-531-6086.

Self-management is a core element of effective diabetes care and is essential during COVID-19.  Two virtual resources to support self-management in people with diabetes and pre-diabetes include:

1-800 BANTING (226-8464):  People living with diabetes can call to get help with navigation, information resources and support.

Canadian Diabetes Prevention Program:  People living with pre-diabetes can self-enroll in this free, online, 1-year healthy behavior coaching program
