On Thursday, for World Health Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its first global report on diabetes, announcing that the number of people living with diabetes worldwide has almost quadrupled since 1980, growing from 108 million to 422 million adults. In Canada, it’s estimated that three million adults have diabetes, and costs our health-care system $3-billion a year. What’s more, this number is expected to grow by 40 per cent in the next 10 years.
