Many Canadians are living with diabetes without knowing it.
Type 2 diabetes can develop slowly, often 4 to 7 years before it’s diagnosed. That’s why screening is so important. Early testing can catch changes sooner and help prevent long-term complications.
In Canada, screening is generally recommended starting at age 40, or earlier if you have risk factors.
