To my Caregiver: "All I Have Are My Yesterdays....."
|
 By Sharon A. O'Brien, SC; RN, PG; BSW, RSW; CG Executive Vice-President of Policy & Education
You want me to stop talking about the past. I know by the look on your face that it bothers you, but that is all I know.
I cannot remember what I did this morning. I cannot remember how to make my tea. I don't remember the names of my grandchildren and sometimes I don't know who you are although you tell me you are my son.
But I do remember the school I attended as a child and I still remember my grade one teacher.

About Diabetes...
- In 2008/09, almost 2.4 million Canadians (6.8%) were living with diabetes.
- If incidence and mortality rates continue at levels seen in 2008/09 data, estimates suggest that the number of Canadians living with diabetes will reach 3.7 million by 2018/19.
- From 1999 to 2009, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among Canadians increased by 70%. The greatest relative increase in prevalence was seen in the 35 to 39 and 40 to 44 year age groups, where the proportion doubled. Likely, this increase in younger age groups is, in part, a consequence of increasing rates of overweight and obesity.
