Jacqueline Baptiste-Savoie - How Sugar Affects Skin Tissue
Bacteria love sugar.
That’s why patients living with diabetes need to take care of any cuts or scrapes, especially if they’re on their feet. If a cut isn’t taken care of, bacteria will quickly make its way into the body.
In this video, Jacqueline Baptiste-Savoie of the Scarborough Health Network talks about how high blood sugars can increase a patient’s risk of infection when they have an open wound, no matter how small.
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.
