Alberta Diabetes Society (ADF): Committed to Finding a Cure for Diabetes

Diabetes is one of Canada’s most common chronic diseases, affecting people regardless of age, weight, or health.

This spring, the Alberta Diabetes Foundation (ADF) is running an awareness campaign to educate people about diabetes, its prevention, and its impact on Albertans and around the world.
