A epidemic of diabetes facing natives study already High rates Are expected to triple in 20 years by Louise Elliott for the free press san Diego a the number of native Manitoban with diabetes will triple Over the next two decades giving the province among the highest rates in the world a new study has found. Diabetes among aboriginal people is already at epidemic Levels but a study by epidemiologist Chris Green predicts that by the year 2016 one in four will suffer from it. A we have an epidemic of diabetes that a just getting going a Green told the fourth International conference on diabetes and indigenous Peoples. A a it a going to be very costly. A a there a going to be a real need for services to Deal with complications to minimize the the study jointly funded by health Canada and the Assembly of Manitoba chiefs Drew from provincial health records dating Back to 1983. It concluded the number of registered first nations adults Over age 25 who have diabetes will Rise to 20,000 from 6,700 Over the next two decades. Already the native rate of diabetes is four times the National average. By 2016, the incident rate among aboriginals in Manitoba will be 27 per cent. The results place Manitoba a first nations diabetes rates among the highest in the world and Are consistent with the widely publicized Sandy Lake first nation study released last january Green said. The Northwestern Ontario study found the Community had the third highest known diabetes rate worldwide. Green added that because Many people have diabetes without knowing it the actual number of people affected in Manitoba now and in the future will be even higher than his projections indicate. A the Overall figures Are an understatement because Many people done to seek medical attention until complications set in a he said. The conference which wrapped up yesterday included 600 delegates from Canada the u.s., Australia and new zealand. It was designed to address the growing problem of non insulin dependent diabetes Type ii in aboriginal populations worldwide. It featured presentations ranging from Community based programs like Canadas Kahn awake schools prevention project to medical intervention such As the american Indian health services staged management system a nationally standardized care program. Greens study is the first to try to predict the effects of the epidemic on a specific native population. His results were based on the current number of cases the number of new cases since 1991, and an expected 50 per cent Rise in the native population Over 20 years.
