Edmonton aims to screen all for diabetes
Edmonton - A new diabetes screening program in Edmonton goes further than any other in North America, effectively making diabetes a reportable disease.
Under the program, whenever someone in the city visits a doctor, hospital or walk-in clinic, their blood-sugar information is recorded in a central database. Edmonton's Capital Health Region plans to use the information to identify and treat anyone with diabetes or at risk for the disease.
