Steve and Linda Oikawa - Why I Chose Home Hemodialysis - Steve's Story
Steve and Linda Oikawa work as a team when it comes to dialysis.
They chose home hemodialysis because they liked its possibility of flexibility.
Steve normally dialyzes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but if something comes up on one of those days it’s no big deal, he can move his dialysis to another day.
Steve and Linda liked the fact that they could make hemodialysis work for their schedule rather than having to schedule their lives around Steve’s treatments.
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.
