Diabetes in Canada: A Growing but Unequal Burden

Did you know?
🔹 Nearly 1 in 10 Canadians (3.9M people) live with diabetes
🔹 30% of the population has diabetes or prediabetes
🔹 260,000 new cases are diagnosed every year
But here’s what matters most:
📍 Where you live in Canada impacts your risk
Higher rates in Atlantic & Prairie provinces
Lower rates in British Columbia & Quebec
Indigenous communities and lower-income populations face a significantly higher burden

In Ontario alone:
15% prevalence (including undiagnosed cases)
$2.2 billion/year healthcare cost

The real challenge:
Diabetes is not just a medical condition; it's a social and public health issue driven by the following:
✔️ Income inequality
✔️ Access to healthy food
✔️ Healthcare accessibility
✔️ Structural inequities

And it’s growing:
Diabetes cases in Canada are projected to rise by up to 30% in the next decade.

Key takeaway:
To fight diabetes, we need more than treatment.
We need equity-focused prevention strategies.
