Diabetes Action Canada is supporting a series of national virtual co-design sessions this month, led by Patient Partners through the Research-to-Action Fellowship. These sessions bring together people with lived, loved, laboured, or learned experience of diabetes to shape tools that respond to real community needs.

This initiative is grounded in the principles of patient-oriented research and collaborative innovation. Rather than traditional focus groups, these sessions are designed as working sessions where participants co-create alongside Fellowship teams.

Participants are offered an honorarium in recognition of their time and contributions. Each session will last 1.5 hours and includes light preparation and follow-up.

Session Topics Include:

• What People with Diabetes Wish Nurses Knew — Addressing stigma and bias in care
• Cell Therapy 101 — Demystifying stem cell treatment in type 1 diabetes
• Hormones & Diabetes — Navigating puberty, pregnancy, and menopause
• AID 101 — Exploring automated insulin delivery tools and lived experience
• Right Diagnosis Toolkit — Responding to misdiagnosis in Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities

Open to people in Canada aged 16+, these sessions are part of a broader effort to ensure that new resources reflect the priorities and realities of the communities they are meant to serve.
