Study : nearly 30% of people with diabetes remain undiagnosed.

TIME (11/18, Worland) reports that a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine “suggests that nearly 30% of adults with diabetes remain undiagnosed—the same rate as people with HIV.” The study also suggests that “just like many HIV patients, only about 20% of diabetes patients are treated satisfactorily.”

Medscape (11/18, Tucker) reports that the study found that “the majority of people with undiagnosed diabetes in the United States not only have a usual healthcare provider but have made two or more visits in the past year.”
