Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Diabetes-related complications can be very serious and even life-threatening. Properly managing blood-sugar levels reduce the risk of developing the complications associated with diabetes. Having a good diabetes program can help to prevent this or delay the onset of these complications. I know for a fact that there is no diabetes program, a dedicated one, for the residents of my community, as I had spoken about my personal experience recently. It makes me wonder if there are any available services in all small health centres and in all small communities. I plead on behalf of the many diabetics in the Northwest Territories. Can the Minister of Health and Social Services investigate to ensure that all small health centres are equipped to provide a diabetes program in all of the small communities? Mahsi.
