Trans Care: Trans People and Diabetes

As part of the Trans Care Project, a joint initiative of the Transgender Health Program and Transcend Transgender Support & Education Society (with funding by the Canadian Rainbow Health Coalition), local and international experts in transgender care worked with local members of the transgender community to create 7 sets of guidelines for health and social service providers in BC, and 17 health information booklets for transgender people and loved ones.

This consumer booklet provides some information about risks for diabetes for trans people as well as information about screening and testing.

This booklet also explains: what diabetes is, treatment for diabetes and lists local diabetes resources.
