ICES + COO Report: First Nations and Diabetes in Ontario

This report is a first-ever First Nations–specific population report on diabetes in Ontario. It is the outcome of a collaborative project between the Chiefs of Ontario, ICES (formerly the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences) and other First Nations and academic partners. Over three years, the project team worked closely with a six-member patient advisory group to better understand First Nations people’s experiences with diabetes and diabetes related health services in Ontario. Included in this report is information about rates of diabetes and its complications, as well as the results of interviews from five First Nations communities. This includes information about diabetes-related complications (both acute and chronic). We also explored what health services people use, why, and how often.
