What we do

The T2D Network is a trusted hub connecting healthcare professionals, people living with type 2 diabetes, caregivers, families, and communities with evidence-based resources, tools, and support. By bringing high-quality information together in one place, we make it easier to prevent, manage, and live well with type 2 diabetes.

We are a collaborative network of healthcare professionals, researchers, organizations, and institutions working together to address gaps in type 2 diabetes care and services across British Columbia. Led by the Institute for Health System Transformation & Sustainability, we strengthen prevention and management through shared knowledge, strong partnerships, and accessible community resources.

Our mission is to transform type 2 diabetes care from a reactive model to one focused on prevention, early intervention, and continuous improvement. Together, we are building a learning health system that advances innovation and improves health outcomes for individuals and communities.
