Diabetes in Manitoba:
A Call to Action
Diabetes is a common chronic disease throughout Manitoba, as it is around the world. If untreated or poorly managed, diabetes can result in complications and disabilities, including heart disease and stroke, blindness, amputations, kidney disease and nervous system damage. The primary focus of Diabetes in Manitoba: A Call to Action is to prevent new cases of type 2 diabetes by addressing related risks and environmental factors.
This Call to Action goes out to individuals, families, communities and regional health authorities as well as health care providers. It is a call to re-energize, regroup and refocus our efforts to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes and create a healthier Manitoba.
The purpose of Diabetes in Manitoba: A Call to Action is to strengthen existing partnerships and build new ones to develop and implement a province-wide integrated and co-ordinated action plan. This Call to Action takes a life course approach to reduce the cumulative risk for diabetes and keep Manitobans healthier and disease-free over a longer period of life. Individuals, communities, regional health authorities, government and non-government organizations must all work together to achieve this goal.
