Just over one in two Canadians strongly agree (15%) or somewhat agree (37%) that diabetes impacts a person’s ability to do certain jobs. Just under two in five strongly disagree (15%) or somewhat disagree (23%) with that statement. Men (59%) and younger Canadians (18-34, 63%) are more likely to strongly agree or somewhat agree that diabetes impacts a person’s ability to do certain jobs than women (46%) and older Canadians (55 plus, 45%).
