In Ottawa, representatives from Diabetes Canada release the group's national survey results and discuss their meeting with Parliamentarians to raise awareness about the proportions of Canada's diabetes epidemic. The release of the survey is timed to Diabetes Awareness Month. The survey polled Canadians about their knowledge of diabetes and the impact of the disease. Speaking at the news conference are Diabetes Canada president and CEO Dr. Jan Hux and her colleagues Russell Williams (vice-president, government relations and public policy) and Kimberley Hanson (patient advocate and director), as well as Liberal MP Sonia Sidhu (chair of the Parliamentary all-party Diabetes Caucus) and Dr. Jean-Pierre Després from Université Laval.
