According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, nine million Canadians ˗ or about one in four people ˗ are already living with this disease or its precursor, a condition called prediabetes (in which blood sugar is elevated, but not high enough 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 insufficient production of insulin, a hormone created in the pancreas. The body needs insulin to produce glucose (sugar) from foods and control blood sugar. Without insulin, sugar can build up in the blood to harmful levels, and this can contribute to serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and blindness. MARCH 2011 Bayshore Specialty Rx Newsletter Confluence specialty pharmacy infusion clinics patient support services Taking a proactive approach to diabetes education and management COMPANY OVERVIEW Type 1 diabetes, often diagnosed during childhood or adolescence, is not preventable. People who have type 1 diabetes must manage the condition by taking insulin regularly. There are many types of insulin, and it is available in syringes, pumps and pens. The vast majority of people with diabetes have type 2, in which the pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin, or the body may not be using insulin properly. Unlike type 1 diabetes, type 2 can be prevented or delayed through interventions such as being physically active, maintaining a healthy weight and choosing nutritious foods. However, the disease is on the rise around the world, as the population ages and becomes increasingly sedentary, and obesity rates creep higher. People of Asian, Aboriginal, Hispanic, African or South Asian descent are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors include high blood pressure; having an immediate family member who has diabetes; impaired glucose tolerance; and having high levels of cholesterol or fats in the blood. The Canadian Diabetes Association reports that diabetes is a contributing factor in the deaths of about 41,500 Canadians annually, and adults who have diabetes are twice as likely to die prematurely than people without the disease. 2093545 Bayshore Specialty Rx, 2155 Dunwin Drive, Unit 10, Mississauga, Ontario L5L 4M1 (continued on back page) Diabetes causes over 40,000 deaths per year Bayshore Specialty Rx offers a wide range of specialty pharmacy, infusion and patient support services to clients such as government care programs, pharmaceutical companies and other health care organizations.

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

RENEWABLERESOURCESA DIVISION OF MAPLEHILL TREE SERVICES

Our goal is to renew this resource in a manner that helps us all tobecome more aware of Urban Trees, allowing us to enjoy our treeslong after they have died.

Imagine having your trees’ life “Renewed” as furniture in your house.

Once the lumber is dry, our Carpenterscreate hand crafted furniture andbuildings in an artistic and unique manner:

• Dining room tables and chairs• Coffee tables, wall art, cutting boards• Timber frame buildings
