MEDISURE ADDRESSES MARKET THAT IS IMPACTING 1 IN 4 CANADIANS … AND GETTING WORSE

1 in 4 Canadians suffer from pre-diabetes or type I and type II diabetes, resulting in a medical crisis that is not only failing to improve - but tragically worsening.

Between 2000 and 2016, the prevalence of Canadians living with diabetes increased by an average of 3.3% each year. According to Statistics Canada, on average, 549 Canadians are diagnosed with diabetes each day, and 11% of Canadian adults aged 20+ are currently living with diabetes. The rate of those diagnosed is expected to increase in the years to come alongside patient demands on the healthcare system as Canadians are living with diabetes longer. This demand begets the need for a range of affordable, high-quality diabetic management products.
