Together, let's build a future where people are not measured by their disabilities, but instead by who they are and what they are capable of. Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day that aims to increase awareness and remind us of the role we have to play in fostering an inclusive environment that is accessible to all. We must value diverse abilities and be willing to learn from the experiences of disabled people. Let's work to build a more equitable and sustainable future for all Canadians. #InclusionIsForEveryone #IDPWD

“As a high-risk pregnancy due to my Type 1 diabetes, my age, and now being pregnant with my second child, it feels like every moment is magnified.” Soon-to-be-mom Joanna Nicholson has been managing her glucose levels for as long as she can remember. At Mount Sinai Hospital, Joanna has been using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors to help manage her blood sugar more effectively. Dr. Denice Feig, Head of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Program at Sinai Health, says most closed-loop systems like the one Joanna is using have only been tested on non-pregnant populations. Discover how Dr. Feig is advocating for more trials that will help patients with diabetes in pregnancy have healthier babies: https://bit.ly/4fONEoW #DiabetesInPregnancy #ContinuousGlucoseMonitoring #Pregnancy #Diabetes
