Ganesan Sugumar - Diabetes - A Family Effort
Meet Ganesan Sugumar. He has type 2 diabetes.
When Ganesan was diagnosed with diabetes, his daughter, Sofia, made sure he followed his diet and didn’t eat sweets.
One problem: Ganesan runs his own restaurant, and he loves to eat sweets.
Watch this video to see the difficulties of making lifestyle changes after a diabetes diagnosis, and how a diagnosis not only affects the individual patient, but their entire family as well.
The Scarborough Health Network has sponsored the creation of over a hundred educational videos for type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

In 2022, this YouTube channel was rebranded as Manitoba Moonshot.
The Manitoba Moonshot is a front-row seat watching one Canadian family trying to end type 2 diabetes.
This channel will highlight stories from the Lautt family, ask tough questions about access to health care for marginalized communities, and feature exclusive interviews with Canadians from all walks of life — especially those living with type 2 diabetes.
