Links on Diabetes, Celiac Disease, Depression, and Anxiety

External Resources to Help Manage Multiple Health Conditions

Here are helpful resource links to some websites I use on a regular basis to help me with the various aspects of chronic diseases, including medical advice, therapies, and the latest research on Diabetes, Celiac Disease, and Depression and Anxiety. I use both Canadian and American websites.

• Diabetes Links
• The Canadian Diabetes Association/Diabetes Canada
• Their mission is to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while working to find a cure. I have attended Virtual Conferences during the Covid 19 pandemic.
• diatribe Learn: Making Sense of Diabetes
• diaTribe provides free cutting-edge diabetes insights and actionable tips for people with diabetes. Their mission is to help individuals better understand their diabetes. This is my go-to website for diabetes.

• Celiac Disease Links
• Canadian Celiac Association
• It serves people with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity and dermatitis herpetiformis through affiliated chapters across Canada. The CCCA helped me regain control over my life. The Manitoba Chapter provides celiac kits to local food banks.
• The National Celiac Association
• The NCA is dedicated to educating and advocating for individuals with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivities, their families, and communities throughout the United States. They have food assistance resources, including guides to providing GF food and a searchable database of food pantries where you may be able to find GF food.
