Since January 2020, Health Quality BC (HQBC) and the Institute for Health System Transformation & Sustainability (IHSTS) have partnered to advance the work of the provincial Type 2 Diabetes Network. We are proud to say that together, over the last three years, we have had many successes.

With this work now firmly established, HQBC has decided to transition full leadership of the Type 2 Diabetes Network to IHSTS who will continue the efforts to reduce the impact and inequities associated with type 2 diabetes. This decision was not taken lightly, but thoughtfully and with much gratitude for what we’ve been able to achieve together. We are collectively committed to the success of a smooth transition and we send gratitude to all the members of the network for your ongoing engagement with this work.

Indigenous Self-Determination and Equity in Diabetes

First Nations Peoples experience disproportionately higher rates of diabetes, yet the majority of diabetes services and programs are not designed by or with Indigenous peoples, or consider First Nations perspectives, cultures or approaches to wellness. Many First Nations communities are small, remote, and/or rural, and have limited access to the existing diabetes services.
