This report provides an overview of Type 2 Diabetes in Nunavut for the period of 1997- 2002 as well as some supplementary information on diabetes that may be of assistance to the population health program staff.
In the past various approaches, including sample surveys have been used in order to obtain population-based estimates of the incidence and prevalence of diabetes. For this report, we have used comprehensive administrative health data to create a population-based database of cases of clinically diagnosed diabetes. There are limitations to this approach as these data rely on the diagnostic reporting of many physicians and community health nurses and clinical precision cannot be assured. It is possible that different diagnostic criteria are being used across the territory.
This manual contains WARNINGS against operating procedures, which could result in an accident or bodily injury. It also contains CAUTIONS against procedures, which could result in damage to your vehicle. If you do not read this entire manual, you may miss important information.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is found on the left front corner of the instrument panel, visible through the windshield. This number also appears on the vehicle registration or title.
In the beginning of the 1990s, the most famous global brands were the companies that were in the business of producing materials goods or processing physical matter. Today, however, the lists of best-recognized global brands are topped with the names such as Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. (In fact, Google was number one in the world in 2007 in terms of brand recognition.) And, at least in the U.S., the most widely read newspapers and magazines - New York Times, USA Today, Business Week, etc. - daily feature news and stories about YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Apple, Google, and other IT companies.
What about other media? If you access CNN web site and navigate to the business section, you will see a market data for just ten companies and indexes displayed right on the home page.1 Although the list changes daily, it is always likely to include some of the same IT brands. Lets take January 21, 2008 as an example. On that day CNN list consisted from the following companies and indexes: Google, Apple, S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq Composite Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Cisco Systems, General Electric, General Motors, Ford, Intel.2
