What’s New
An updated version of the Diabetes Prevalence by Alberta Community figure is now available.
The Alberta Diabetes Atlas 2011 provides updated information on the number of people living with diabetes in Alberta, their related health conditions, and the health services they use. In the 2011 edition, you will find two additional chapters: 'Use of Indicated Laboratory Testing among People with Diabetes in Alberta' and 'Gestational Diabetes in Alberta'.
The ADSS interactive website is now available here: https://www.interactiveadss.ualberta.ca
This is a tool that can be used to generate timely information about diabetes in Alberta.

The latest ADSS Newsletter, released in February 2011, highlights recent Diabetes Trends in Alberta.
ADSS Newsletters
The purpose of the ADSS Newsletter is to update stakeholders on new and important diabetes issues in Alberta. It is published and circulated three times per year and serves as a way to disseminate new ADSS findings in between the production of the Alberta Diabetes Atlas, which is only released every two years.
The Newsletter is distributed to health care professionals, diabetes education centers and policy makers around Alberta. While we do still have hard copies of the Newsletter on hand, we have transitioned to distributing most of our Newsletters electronically by e-mail.
