Diabetes in First Nations communities is now considered an
epidemic, and rates are continuing to increase. Rates of diabetes appear to be
higher on-reserve than off-reserve. Although much less is known about diabetes
among Métis people, results from the Aboriginal Peoples Survey show rates well
above the non-Aboriginal average. In the past, Inuit people have been the only
exception to this pattern of high rates. However, more recent regional data indicate
that this too is changing. Data available for some First Nations indicate a high
prevalence of complications such as Heart disease, hypertension, stroke, lower limb
amputations, kidney disease, and eye disease. There is particular concern regarding
two groups within the First Nations population: children and women of
childbearing age.
