The Canadian Diabetes Association is urging Canadians to get serious about diabetes prevention and management. Diabetes healthcare specialists say that by the time they are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, many people have already had diabetes for an average of about seven years. During that time, high levels of glucose in their blood may have caused a lot of damage, despite the fact that people experience no symptoms.
