Today on #WorldDiabetesDay, we recognize the more than 4 million Canadians living with diabetes and the importance of earlier detection, consistent care, and stronger support for Canadian patients.
This year’s call to #ActEarlyOnDiabetes is a reminder of the urgency. With 853 million people worldwide projected to be living with diabetes by 2050, taking action earlier can improve patient health outcomes and help reduce the long-term burden on health systems.
Canada’s biotechnology sector has an important role to play. Across the country, BIOTECanada members are contributing vital work in the diabetes space, reflecting the important role biotechnology can play in improving care and outcomes for patients.
Learn more about diabetes, the importance of early action, and the resources available to people living with the disease through the Diabetes Canada website.
