  2. Key Messages… • Alberta Diabetes Atlas 2007 provides trends over time, across age and regional variation for DM & related conditions. • The prevalence & incidence of DM are increasing in Alberta, and especially among older adults. • People with DM have significantly higher rates of CV disease, eye disease, kidney disease, mental health disorders and overall health care use than people without diabetes. • Better primary care can reduce the burden on acute care • Local information will help local planning.

  3. Diabetes - Background • Body has difficulty making insulin and/or using the insulin that they produce. • Problematic because insulin is required to move glucose into cells so that it can be used by body tissues and organs.

  4. Diabetes - Background • When glucose remains in the blood, blood glucose levels can rise to dangerously high levels and result in acute complications. • Higher than normal blood glucose levels also can result in long-term organ damage and affect the eyes, kidneys and cardiovascular system. Diabetic Retinopathy End-Stage Renal Disease Cardiovascular Disease

  5. Type 1 Diabetes • Usually occurs early in life during childhood or adolescence and is managed with insulin. • Accounts for 5-10% of all diabetes cases.

  6. Type 2 Diabetes • Usually associated with onset after 30-40 years of age; however during the past decade, it has become much more prevalent in younger individuals. • Associated with many complications such as heart problems, kidney problems, eye disease etc. • Thought to be associated with lifestyle factors including physical inactivity and obesity. • Accounts for 90-95% of all diabetes cases

  7. Diabetes - Big Picture, Big Burden • Is a chronic disease affecting more than 5% of Canadians over 20 years of age. • Healthcare costs of patients with diabetes are projected to be in excess of $6 billion in 2006. • As people are getting diabetes earlier in life, they are also getting complications earlier in life.

  8. ADSS – A Public Health Service… “Public health surveillance is the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice, closely integrated with the timelydissemination of these data to those who need to know. . . . A surveillance system includes a functional capacity for data collection, analysis and dissemination…” -CDC Surveillance Update, 1988

  9. National Diabetes Surveillance System

  10. ADSS • AHW & IHE/ACHORD partnership • Deliverables • ADSS Newsletter • Regular updates and issue-specific focus • Alberta Diabetes Atlas • 2007, 2009, 2011 • ADSS Website • Timely, region-specific information

  36. Alberta Diabetes Atlas 2007 Other topics included: DM & Lower Limb Amputation DM & Kidney Disease • Incidence & prevalence of ESRD • Kidney transplants DM & Mental Health • Affective disorders • Anxiety disorders • Psychoses (organic & non-organic) • Substance abuse disorders DM & First Nations People

  37. Alberta Diabetes Atlas 2007Key Findings & Policy Options Key Findings & Options: 1. Primary prevention to reduce rising prevalence. 2. Secondary prevention to reduce complications. 3. Enhance Quality of Primary Care. 4. Enhance Access to Primary Care. 5. Recognize mental health burden. 6. Enhanced eye care for diabetes. 7. Diabetes in First Nations People. 8. Enhance scope and depth of DM surveillance.

  38. Alberta Diabetes Fact Sheet 2008

  39. ADSS - what is missing…? - what is next…? Conditions: • DM & pregnancy • DM & foot disease • DM & cancer New data: • Laboratory surveillance • Drug Utilization • Risk factor surveillance

  40. How YOU can use the ADSS… • ADSS can be used by the Regions to more accurately assess what the burden of DM and it’s comorbidities are. • ADSS provides important information and specific numbers that can be included in Regional business plans/performance reports. • Diabetes is one of the conditions expected in performance reports for all health regions in Alberta. • ADSS can help regions/PCNs plan and evaluate new programs.

  41. ADSS Dissemination* 1. Active dissemination to Regions: • Local presentations • Regional Administration • MOH/PCNs/DECs • Public 2. Ongoing Newsletters 3. ADSS Website *ADSS Dissemination Sub-Committee: J. Johnson, C. Andres, A. Edwards, K. McLaughlin, R. Lewanczuk
