D-Chat for folks with Diabetes
Recently, the Canadian Diabetes Association introduced a new community initiative called D-Chat. It is a free and confidential telephone-based personal mentoring program, which is now available to folks with newly-diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in British Columbia and the Yukon. The goal of the program is to empower and guide participants with type 2 diabetes towards a path of healthy living by having them regularly connect with a peer mentor. “We are excited to offer this unique support program and encourage newly diagnosed individuals with type 2 diabetes in B.C. and the Yukon to participate,” says Leanne Morgan, Canadian Diabetes Association community programs and partnerships (B.C. and Yukon) senior manager. “Finding out you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes can be an unforgettable moment in one’s life. "Having a mentor share his or her own experiences of managing their diabetes, while providing supportive tips and suggestions can help someone newly diagnosed alleviate the stress of figuring out the best ways to adjust.” D-Chat matches individuals newly-diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with a volunteer mentor also living with type 2 diabetes for helpful casual one-on-one phone chats over a period of six weeks. Once an individual registers, a trained volunteer will phone them to answer their questions, offer information about local resources and share experiences. D-Chat volunteers do not provide medical advice; instead they share their personal experiences and support on how best to navigate the health care system. Those recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes can register by phone at 1-800-BANTING (226-8464) or by e-mail at dchat@diabetes.ca. Callers will be asked to complete a questionnaire when they register and are then matched to a volunteer peer mentor. More information is available at diabetes. ca/dchat. The Canadian Diabetes Association gratefully acknowledges ONETOUCH® as a proud supporter of D-Chat.
PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER

Anna Lindhout was one of close to two dozen participants working away in a jigsaw puzzle contest at BJ’s Donuts & Eatery in 100 Mile House on March 29. Donations from the contest, organized by the Gold Rush Grannies, went to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which works in Africa with AIDS orphans and the grandmothers that care for them. The happy winners of the puzzle contest were Melanie Millar and Amanda Mosher.
