"The Best Centre is fantastic! As a parent, you wouldn't believe the support and encouragement given by the staff at the Centre" Jan- mother of Joey, 11

"The Best Centre is great! We couldn't believe that even during the holidays, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, someone is available to us for assistance. I can't think of another place that would do so much for their patients" Dave- father of Aaron

I am so lucky to have the “Best Centre Angels” watching over me.

The Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre for Children & Youth was established in 1989 and was the first and only one of its kind in Canada – nurse-driven and community based. The Best Centre was set up to serve paediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes, also providing education, diabetes management and support to families. Today, The Best Centre services over 1800 patients and provides children, youth and adults with comprehensive education and life skill instruction that is facilitated through individual sessions at the Centre and in the home. Crisis prevention through ongoing contact (through 24-hour pager, as needed) is provided for specific management issues.

In 2010, the cost of diabetes in Ontario was estimated to be approximately

$4.9 billion. In 2020, the cost is predicted to be $6.9 billion.
