The costs of living with diabetes can stack up

From devices to groceries, travel, and time off work, the costs of diabetes can quietly stack up.1

Canadians with this condition can pay more than 3% of their household income2 in out-of-pocket medical expenses. The ripple effects can impact your bank account,3 your emotional well-being, and your family, too.

And yet, conversations about diabetes and money are still rare. Support can be hard to find.

At Sun Life, we believe no one should have to choose between their health and their finances. We believe peace of mind is as important to our health as it is to our wealth.

That’s why we’re bringing together the tools, resources and guidance to help you feel confident – and take small, powerful steps.

Because when you feel confident about your finances, everything else feels a bit lighter.
