Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
November is the month to highlight diabetes.
The incidence of this disease is rising in North
America. Many people in Canada have already
had diabetes for an average of about seven
years by the time they are diagnosed with type 2
diabetes. During that time, excessively high levels of glucose could
have caused much damage even though there were no symptoms.
It is very important that everyone over the age of 40 be tested for
diabetes at least every three years. This screening should begin
earlier if you are overweight (especially if you carry that weight
around your middle) and if you are of Aboriginal, Hispanic, Asian,
South Asian or African descent.
Other risk factors include having a parent, brother or sister with
diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol or other fats in
your blood. As with many serious diseases, early diagnosis can
delay or prevent the development of complications that are caused
by high levels of glucose in the blood. Check with your doctor
about this growing and very serious problem.
The Canadian Diabetes Association has a toll-free phone number
to answer all your questions about diabetes. It is 1-800-BANTING.
Frederick Banting was one of the Canadian co -discoverers of insulin
back in the early 1920s.
