  2. FNMI Population in Canada • http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fniah-spnia/pubs/aborig-autoch/2009-stats-profil-vol3/index-eng.php#fig1

  3. FNMI Age Population in Canada • http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/as-sa/99-011-x/2011001/tbl/tbl04-eng.cfm • How does the FNMI population increase affect you? • Who contributes to our Canadian society? • What other questions do we need to ask ourselves when viewing the statistical information?

  4. FNMI Population in Saskatchewan • http://www.stats.gov.sk.ca/stats/population/Censuspop2011.pdf Growth rate from 1961-2011 http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/aboriginal_population_trends.html

  5. Diabetes – Type 1 • Type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes • These cells – called “islets” (pronounced EYE-lets) – are the ones that sense glucose in the blood and, in response, produce the necessary amount of insulin to normalize blood sugars. • Insulin serves as a “key” to open your cells, to allow the glucose to enter -- and allow you to use the glucose for energy.   • Without insulin, there is no “key.”   So, the sugar stays -- and builds up-- in the blood. The result: the body’s cells starve from the lack of glucose.   • And, if left untreated, the high level of “blood sugar” can damage eyes, kidneys, nerves, and the heart, and can also lead to coma and death http://www.diabetesresearch.org/what-is-type-one-diabetes

  6. Diabetes – Type 2 • Type 2, or non-insulin dependent diabetes. • This is also called “adult onset” diabetes, since it typically develops after age 35. However, a growing number of younger people are now developing type 2 diabetes.   • People with type 2 are able to produce some of their own insulin. Often, it’s not enough. And sometimes, the insulin will try to serve as the “key” to open the body’s cells, to allow the glucose to enter. But the key won’t work. The cells won’t open. This is called insulin resistance.   • Often, type 2 is tied to people who are overweight, with a sedentary lifestyle.   • Treatment focuses on diet and exercise. If blood sugar levels are still high, oral medications are used to help the body use its own insulin more efficiently. In some cases, insulin injections are necessary http://www.diabetesresearch.org/what-is-type-two-diabetes

  7. Gestational Diabetes • Gestational diabetes means diabetes that develops for the first time during pregnancy. According to the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada gestational diabetes affects between 3.7 and 18 per cent of Canadian pregnancies. Diabetes happens when your body can't produce enough of a hormone called insulin. Insulin is made by your pancreas, and it does two jobs: regulating the amount of sugar available in your blood for energy • enabling any sugar that isn't needed to be stored • During pregnancy your body has to produce extra insulin to meet your baby's needs, especially from mid-pregnancy onwards. If your body can't manage this, you will have too much sugar in your blood. It's then that you may develop gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after your baby is born. It's unlike other types of diabetes, which are lifelong conditions. http://www.babycenter.ca/a2058/gestational-diabetes#section1#ixzz32SegvgKz
