Improving the Prevention, Management, and Treatment of Diabetes and Other Chronic Diseases in Ontario In Ontario, diabetes affects 1 in 3 people and contributes to 30% of strokes, 40% of heart attacks, 50% of kidney failure requiring dialysis, and 70% of all non-traumatic lower limb amputations. It is also a leading cause of blindness. The toll on patients and caregivers is significant as is the impact on the healthcare system and economy.
In November of 2020, Longwoods hosted an event Diabetes Care and Management for Ontario focusing on the need for more to be done to support people in Ontario living with diabetes. The following year, the Ministry of Health’s 2022/23 mandate to Ontario Health directed the agency to “work in partnership with the Ministry of Health to develop a chronic disease strategy addressing prevention, management and treatment, with an initial focus on diabetes.” This mandate was renewed in 2023/24 with an added emphasis to complete the development and proceed with implementation of the strategy.
In parallel to the commitment made by the Ontario government, in October 2022 the federal government tabled the Diabetes Framework, another important step in the journey to reduce the rising rates of the diabetes epidemic. We are now at a pivotal time with government commitments being made to reduce the rates of the disease and the unsustainable burden it places on our province, population, and health system.
Our panel of thought leaders and healthcare experts will reflect on the current state of diabetes in Ontario and the plan moving forward to develop and implementation a provincial strategy.
