Diabetes Clinic

 New patients

If you suspect your child or youth may have undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes, please seek urgent medical help, either from CHEO’s Emergency Department or another urgent care facility.

In order to be seen by CHEO’s Diabetes clinic, a referral from your family physician, pediatrician or an emergency department is required.

Referring physicians

Suspected Type 1 diabetes is a medical emergency. Please contact CHEO’s Diabetes doctor on call by calling our main number 613-737-7600 and asking to be connected with them.

 New patients with Type 1 diabetes

In order to ensure seamless care for all children and youth with diabetes, all new patients with Type 1 diabetes referred to CHEO who are currently living in the province of Quebec will be redirected to receive diabetes care from Gatineau Hospital’s Pediatric Diabetes program. This allows patients and families to receive care in their home province, meaning you will get diabetes education, follow-up care and access to important diabetes technologies (including insulin pumps) all at the same location, from the same team, without having to travel back and forth between provinces.

If you suspect your child or youth may have Type 1 diabetes, please visit the Gatineau Hospital Emergency Department, located at 909 La Vérendrye Blvd O, Gatineau.
