Approximately Half Of All Americans Have Either Diabetes Or Pre-Diabetes, Study Suggests.

reports that approximately “half of all Americans have either diabetes or pre-diabetes, according to a new” study published Sept. 8 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study also indicates that after about 20 years “of linear growth, the prevalence of diabetes in” the US has “finally” begun to level off. An accompanying editorial “said the study suggests the implementation of food, nutrition and physical activity policies and regulations by federal, state and local governments as well as other efforts to curb obesity and diabetes have finally started to pay off.” http://www.latimes.com/science/la-sci-sn-diabetes-study-20150908-story.html
