By developing evidence-based, community-focused prevention programs, starting in Quebec and potentially expanding nationwide, Canada could not only reduce the burden of diabetes but also improve quality of life for millions and create a cost-effective model for healthcare intervention.
This approach highlights how proven international models can be adapted locally to drive meaningful change.
This month’s health care provider newsletter notes two important observances: the discovery of insulin on July 27, one of Canada’s most significant medical breakthroughs, and World Hepatitis Day on July 28. These milestones inspired our focus on integrated care, especially the overlooked relationship between chronic liver disease and type 2 diabetes.
We spotlight the South Asian Health Strategy’s screening clinics in Surrey, which are now seeing over 300 community members per session. These culturally tailored events highlight the increased risk of diabetes among people living with hepatitis C, particularly in South Asian populations. It's a clear example of how community engagement and clinical insight can work together to improve outcomes.
Our research and academic partnerships continue to grow, with UBCO’s Obesity and Diabetes Research Day strengthening the connection between new evidence and front-line care. This theme carries through our updated clinical tools, including those addressing hepatic comorbidities and continuous glucose…
