Alberta Diabetes Surveillance System Releases the 2011 Alberta Diabetes Atlas
Report shows a need for more teamwork among patients and their health-care providers and more effective use of medical records to aid Albertans with getting the laboratory tests necessary to help manage and prevent long-term complications of the disease.
According to the Atlas, many Albertans who have diabetes are not getting the recommended number of laboratory tests. By monitoring the frequency of key laboratory tests along with test results in diabetes patients, health-care practitioners can more easily make decisions about whether to change or intensify therapy. And at a higher level, being able to monitor these values across regions and communities in Alberta allow health-system managers and policy makers to monitor patient populations, identify disparities, and ultimately improve the quality of care. |

Red wine effective in battling diabetes
Researchers
at the University of Alberta have discovered that a powerful
antioxidant found in red wine could prevent diabetes in offspring.
"Although
this is an early-phase research discovery, if it holds true in humans,
there might be a way to prevent at-risk humans from developing obesity
later in life," said U of A researcher Jason Dyck, department of pediatrics and pharmacology.
