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.
On the Move
Active dissemination of ADSS information, numbers and figures is one of the most important aspects this project. Communication of these findings to those who need to know, in a timely way, is something that the ADSS team is continuing to accomplish. After distributing several ADSS reports/publications, electronically and by mail, we knew that we would have even more success in sharing our findings with local stakeholders face-to-face. In January 2008, the ADSS received a grant of over $150,000 from the Public Health Agency of Canada to further support active community-based dissemination of ADSS information. This funding has supported visits to 7 Alberta Health Regions thus far, and has enabled the ADSS team to reach a variety of audiences, such as policy makers at the regional and provincial levels, health care providers, primary care networks (PCN), the public and different community and advocacy groups. The local information that we have provided these stakeholders facilitates local planning and allocation of resources in order to best serve their diabetic population.
