As most of you know, Diabetes is a serious problem in North America.
From http://www.diabetes.ca/ ( I urge you to have a look at this site):
Today, nearly 1 in 4 Canadians either has diabetes or prediabetes
• More than 20 people are diagnosed with the disease every hour of every day
• By 2020, it is expected that 9.9% of the population will be living with diabetes
The cost of diabetes
Not only is diabetes a personal crisis for people with the disease, it is also a tremendous financial burden for the Canadian healthcare system and society as a whole. The Canadian Diabetes Cost Model finds that:
• The economic burden of diabetes is currently $12.2 billion annually (I heard about $230 Million for NS alone!)
• The cost of the disease is expected to rise to $16.9 billion by 2020 (Up to $500 Million for NS!)
The cost, in human suffering and dollars, is staggering.
In August, I will be launching a new Hypnosis for Diabetes program. The based will be based on training I will be taking in the US and taught by an outstanding Hypnosis professional and Diabetic.
It's my hope that this program benefit a great many people with Diabetes and prediabetes here in Atlantic Canada. I will also be offering this program via Skype for those not local to Halifax.
Contact me at halifaxhypnosis@aol.com ro call me at 902-497-2332 if you would like to be on the mailing list for information on this as it gets closer to launch.
