This is Diabetes Awareness Month in Canada.

With diabetes on the rise in Manitoba Diabetes Canada is reiterating the importance of residents being aware and proactive for Diabetes Awareness Month.

 

Regional Director Andrea Kwasnicki explains we have approximately 146 thousand people that are living with either type one diabetes or type two diabetes but the scary part is that there are 408 thousand people in those statistics when you add in the pre-diabetes so approximately 28 percent of Manitobans are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes.

 

Diabetes Canada is urging Manitobans to eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise in order to reduce the risk of developing diabetes or to manage the disease especially if you’ve been diagnosed with type-two diabetes or pre-diabetes.
