Local Awareness is Key!
Over 2 million Canadians have diabetes
A simple blood test can determine if you have it.
If you are over the age of 40, should be tested for
diabetes at least every 3 years, more often if you
have another risk factor.
Today, more than ever, people can expect to live active,
independent lives because of the current treatment for and
knowledge of diabetes, however the individual must
commit to managing it.
For a person to manage their diabetes there is a lot of
information that can help them. Locally, there are diabetes nurse
educators and dietitians who can provide them with the knowledge
they need. Ask your family doctor for a referral, or if you don't
have a doctor call Jo Anne Aitken, Certified Diabetes
Nurse Educator, at 519-524-8689 ext. 5292
Alexandra Marine & General Hospital runs a regular clinic for
people with diabetes who don't have a family doctor, and they
will see the same doctor each visit.
We are fortunate to have an Endocrinologist (doctor who is a
Specialist in Diabetes and other Metabolic conditions) come to
Goderich on a regular basis. This specialist can work with you,
your family doctor, diabetes nurse and dietitian to manage your
diabetes.
Sometimes people find it hard to afford fresh healthy food.
The Huron Good Food Box is a monthly box with fresh
local and healthy fruits and vegetables at a reduced cost.
Call 519-482-3416 ext. 2512 for more information.
