The 6th Annual "Be Smart and Live with Diabetes" Forum takes place at the Marriott Vancouver Pinnacle, 1128 West Hastings Street, Vancouver. *** Please note that this public event is separate from the conference, and takes place after the conference ends on Sunday, November 4.***

The 2006 fair was by far the biggest and best attended fair to date, with over 800 attendees!

Members of the public can meet with diabetes experts for foot screenings, healthy cooking demonstrations, disability tax seminars, blood glucose screenings, as well as learning about the latest over-the-counter diabetes medications and products to assist people to "be smart and live well with diabetes".

The evening ends with the popular and 6th Annual "Evening of Diabetes Awareness and Seasonal Cheer", a sponsored seasonal dinner for people with diabetes, as well as educational entertainment.

Attendance at the public forum is free, and no pre-registration is required. Please contact the Canadian Diabetes Association at 604-732-4636 to order your dinner tickets, or to sponsor a table.

Please encourage any of your patients living with diabetes to attend. A special thank you to the Marriott Vancouver Pinnacle for hosting this event.
