The Canadian Diabetes Association reports that two million Canadians are living with diabetes today and another million will be diagnosed with it in the next ten years. Diabetes and other chronic conditions are overwhelming the national healthcare system, which is not set up to deal with life-long conditions for which no cure exists.  A group of patients, caregivers, health professionals, scientists and business leaders has created Wellocities, an online presence that makes easier for Canadians to manage their disease.
Wellocities brings to people affected by diabetes:

• The most trusted health information sources available on the web;
• Canada’s first and only nationwide health directory with traditional and non-traditional health services as well as private and public providers; and
• State-of-the-art collaborative tools that allow people to monitor their own conditions, rate services and share first hand accounts of their health experiences with others.

  In fact, Wellocities can also be accessed conveniently through other social networking sites such as Facebook, the top Web destination for Canadians today.
