Michelle Desroches, Kenora Ontario
Michelle enthusiastically provides diabetes education to our local remote Aboriginal community in NW Ont. She is a patient teacher with a wealth of knowledge to help others acquire skills with food choices and preparation to successfully make self-management choices to succeed in nutritional management of diabetes. She and her diabetes education partner organized a diabetes educator training session for >20 participants from many communities in NWO. She selflessly volunteered to providing screening to many people on World Diabetes Day and offered follow up for those in need of resources. She goes beyond the expectations of her “job” and gives back to our community.
