Diabetes prevalence and complication rates: In individual First Nations communities in the Sioux Lookout region of Ontario

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the possibility of reporting diabetes prevalence by individual First Nations reserve communities. Complication rates can be reported by individual community, but estimates are more useful for comparison if the smallest communities are grouped together. Such studies could be replicated across Canada to promote local use of these data for resource planning and monitoring long-term progress of diabetes programs and services.PMID:34385208 | DOI:10.46747/cfp.6708601
