Canada diabetes statistics and death rates:

  • 1 in 17 Canadians has diabetes (5.5 % of all women and 6.2 % of all men).
  • Older Canadians are more likely to have diabetes. In 2005-2006, twenty-two percent of people (approximately 1 in 5) in the 75-79 year old age group had been diagnosed with diabetes.
  • Overall, in adults aged 20 and older, death rates for those with diabetes are two to three times greater than those of the general population. Among 20-39 year olds, individuals with diabetes die at a rate more than six times that of the general population, while in the 60-79 year age group the rates are about twice as high
  • In 2003, 1,222.882 children ages 12 and older and adults were diagnosed with diabetes and by 2005 that number increased to 1,325,120 of the population diagnosed with diabetes.

You Can Prevent Diabetes Deaths, too!  

There may not be a cure for diabetes but today you can help us in our fight to put an end to one cause of death from diabetes – the lack of medical care, insulin, and diabetes supplies for those who cannot afford them.  Donate today and help keep people with diabetes alive until there is a cure.
