Our dedicated clinicians at the Algoma NPLC work collaboratively to assist with diabetes education, prevention, and management. Our program serves patients with diabetes, patients at risk for diabetes, and/or caregivers for a person with diabetes. According to Diabetes Canada, 11 million Canadians currently live with diabetes or prediabetes. 10% of individuals living with diabetes have Type 1 diabetes. This condition severely interferes with their ability to regulate the use and storage of glucose because their pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. On the other hand, 90% of individuals living with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes. People with Type 2 diabetes are unable to efficiently use the insulin that their pancreas produces. Thankfully, a healthy lifestyle combined with optimal medical treatment can help improve the outcomes of both conditions.
