Diabetes is one of the most serioushealth issues facing Canadians today.According to the Canadian DiabetesAssociation, nine million Canadians ˗or about one in four people ˗ are alreadyliving with this disease or its precursor,a condition called prediabetes (in whichblood sugar is elevated, but not highenough for a diabetes diagnosis).Research shows that the prevalence of diabetes is on the rise.
There are two forms of diabetes.About 10 per cent of cases are type 1,which is caused by the insufficientproduction of insulin, a hormone createdin the pancreas. The body needs insulinto produce glucose (sugar) from foodsand control blood sugar. Without insulin,sugar can build up in the blood to harmfullevels, and this can contribute to serioushealth problems including heart disease,stroke, kidney disease and blindness.

Type 1 diabetes, often diagnosedduring childhood or adolescence, is notpreventable. People who have type 1diabetes must manage the condition bytaking insulin regularly. There are manytypes of insulin, and it is available insyringes, pumps and pens.
The vast majority of people withdiabetes have type 2, in which the pancreasdoesn’t make enough insulin, or the bodymay not be using insulin properly. Unliketype 1 diabetes, type 2 can be preventedor delayed through interventions such asbeing physically active, maintaining ahealthy weight and choosing nutritiousfoods. However, the disease is on the risearound the world, as the population agesand becomes increasingly sedentary, andobesity rates creep higher.
People of Asian, Aboriginal, Hispanic,African or South Asian descent are athigher risk for type 2 diabetes. Otherrisk factors include high blood pressure;having an immediate family member who has diabetes; impaired glucosetolerance; and having high levels ofcholesterol or fats in the blood. TheCanadian Diabetes Association reportsthat diabetes is a contributing factor inthe deaths of about 41,500 Canadiansannually, and adults who have diabetesare twice as likely to die prematurelythan people without the disease.

SPECIAL THANKSTO THE SA100 AFTER-PARTY SPONSORSAlthough our mission is to preserve
Urban Trees, as a Last Resort, sometimesthey have to be removed due to:• An overwhelming attack from insects
or disease• Urban development• Urban stresses like poor soil, competition
with lawns, pollution• General neglect
Our Arborists were tired of seeing thesetrees turned into firewood or sent to thelandfill, so we decided to renew them:• Trees are taken down carefully to preserve
all useable wood• Logs are cut into lumber on our sawmill,
focusing on the unique characteristics ofthe wood
• The wood is air dried in drying sheds andthen kiln dried
