Did You Know??? In 2015, diagnosed diabetes affected an estimated 8.9%

(3.34 million) of the Canadian population

In Canada, diabetes prevalence has more than doubled since 2000 and, in the next 10 years, both prevalence and direct healthcare costs for diabetes will grow by 40%.

Obesity and overweight are a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. In Canada, 62% of adults and 31% of children and youth are overweight or obese.

Diabetes in Canada The number of people with type 2 diabetes is increasing

dramatically due to a number of factors:

- the population is aging

- obesity rates are rising

- Canadian lifestyles are increasingly sedentary

- Aboriginal people are three to five times more likely than the general population to develop diabetes

- almost 80% of new Canadians come from populations that are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes: Aboriginal, Hispanic, Asian, South Asian or African descent

In-hospital Diabetes Data For common admission diagnosis such as COPD, CHF, MI or pneumonia, comparing patients with or without diabetes:

Those with diabetes had a significantly higher number of inpatient visits

per year than non-diabetic patients (1.6 visits vs 1.3 visits per year)

The mean length of stay for a person with diabetes in 2014-15 was

significantly longer for those with diabetes (9.9 days) compared to non-

diabetics (6.4 days)

During acute inpatient care stays in PEI for diabetic patients from 2012-

2014, 18 % of the POC glucose tests indicated hyperglycemia (11.0 to 15.0

mmol/L) and 11.4% indicated marked hyperglycemia (>15.0mmol/L) Source: Prince Edward Island Diabetes Acute Inpatient Care Analysis 2009-10 to 2014-15,

Prevention is key To date there is no proven

way to prevent Type 1 diabetes

The onset of Type 2

diabetes may be prevented or delayed through increased physical activity, healthy eating and weight loss

Source: CDA : The Prevalence and Cost of Diabetes, 2009

Prevention is key In a large study, people at risk

of type 2 diabetes were able to reduce their risk 58% by:

exercising moderately for 30

minutes a day and losing 5-7% of their body

weight. In people age 60 and over, the risk

was cut by almost 71%. Source: CDA : The Prevalence and Cost of Diabetes, 2009
