Diabetes is a chronic condition. It stems from the body being unable to produce or properly use insulin in sufficient amounts. The body uses insulin to break down sugars. Sugar is used as an energy source in our bodies. Diabetes can lead to serious complications including:

  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • High Blood Pressure
  • High Cholesterol
  • Vision Loss
  • Kidney Failure
  • Amputations of the legs and feet
  • Premature Death

The Most Common Forms of Diabetes are:

  • Type 1 Diabetes accounts for about 5 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Type 1 usually occurs in adolescents and children, but it can occur at any age. In Type 1 diabetes, the body no longer produces insulin and the patient must take daily insulin injections or use an insulin pump.
  • Type 2 Diabetes accounts for about 95 percent of adult diabetes. Healthy eating and regular exercise in combination with oral medication can help control or prevent health complications.
  • Gestational Diabetes develops during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes can cause problems for both mother and fetus, as well as lead to Type 2 Diabetes developing later on in the mother.

Facts about the Rising Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes:

There are a number of factors leading to the alarming increase in incidence of Type 2 Diabetes. Some of these are:

  • An aging population
  • Rising obesity rates
  • Increasingly sedentary lifestyles Race: Almost 80 percent of Canada’s newer immigrant population is comprised of ethnicities that are considered to be at higher risk. These people include: Aboriginal, Hispanic, Asian, South Asian, African Descent.
