Removing the language barrier in diabetes prevention
Members of South Asian communities in Toronto Central LHIN’s northeast pocket are often pleasantly surprised when they come to Flemingdon Health Centre’s South Asian Diabetes Prevention Program. Read more.

In 2008, the province chose the Toronto Central LHIN to be a pilot site for Ontario’s Diabetes Strategy. With funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the LHIN carried out the following activities:

  • Identified service gaps and inequities in access by creating a map of diabetes services and diabetes rates in the LHIN.
  • Engaged the LHIN’s health service providers to create options for improving access to primary care diabetes services.
  • Developed a work plan for a pilot project to improve diabetes management among the Aboriginal population.
  • Provided recommendations for diabetes registry pilot sites and the LHIN’s role in registry development.
  • Established a Diabetes Steering Committee to provide expert advice on the implementation of the Diabetes Strategy.
