Dr. Afshan Zahedi - Diabetes Prevention In Children
Dr. Afshan Zahedi of the Scarborough Health Network says that diabetes prevention needs to start in childhood.
If children are taught to eat well, exercise and lead healthy lives, they will lower their risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
The age of onset of type 2 diabetes is constantly lowering, so while diabetes prevention is important for everyone, from children to adults, it makes sense to get kids started on the right path as early as possible.
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.
