The first link will direct you to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Through it, you'll find local resources, ways to get involved (fundraising events through cycling, running, etc).

The second link will direct you to the American Diabetes Association. Through it, you'll find tons of useful information - way more than the Canadian site. There are ways to get involved there, too. Some of those events might be closer than the Canadian events.

A diabetes diagnosis is not a death sentence if you catch it in time. I ride with the NC ADA Chapter, and know several type 1 diabetics who can ride me into the ground. For some inspiration, check out Tony Cervati's blog at type1rider.org.
