Where to get help

Québec and Canadian numbers worth writing on the fridge, who to call in what order, and what to do next.

This section gathers every helpline and resource named across the site in one place — emergency numbers, Info-Santé, Diabetes Canada and Diabète Québec, poison centres, substance-use and youth lines — along with the people on your own care team who are often the best first call.

It also covers what to do with everything you have read: three concrete things to do this week, and where to go for more depth.

Everything on this site is general education. Your doses, ratios, correction factors and targets are yours alone — they come from your diabetes team, and where their instructions differ from anything here, theirs win. They know your doses, your kidneys and your history.

Education, not medical advice. Every dose, ratio and target belongs with your own diabetes team.
