Researchers found that approximately one in five older Canadian adults with diabetes and no pre-pandemic functional limitations developed functional limitations for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Functional limitations refer to difficulties with basic mobility-related tasks, such as walking two to three blocks, standing up from a chair, or climbing stairs. In comparison, only one in eight of their peers without diabetes developed functional limitations during the pandemic. The study was published in the Canadian Journal of Diabetes.
