Throughout the year, the partnership will provide Canadians with education about diabetes and associated health risks through digital initiatives, in-store support tools and resources through Walmart's pharmacists and opticians and through educational events, such as Walmart Wellness Days, that provide Canadians with access to screening for type 2 diabetes. Today, 11.7 million Canadians are living with diabetes or prediabetes. People with the disease are more likely to be hospitalized for amputations, kidney failure, heart attacks, strokes, heart failure and experience vision loss.
