Advertisement Fewer People Have Undiagnosed Diabetes Than Previously Estimated,

reports a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that in using the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) criteria for diagnosing diabetes, there were an estimated 25.5 million people with diabetes in 2015 with about 11 percent of them undiagnosed. The previous, “less stringent standard to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the U.S. Census” used by the CDC led to an estimate of 33.3 million people with diabetes and nearly 24 percent of whom were undiagnosed. http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/10/23/559486787/screening-for-diabetes-is-working-better-than-thought
