[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1608012, member: 438800"] In America, where I am, the headline figure is that one-third of people with diabetes are un-diagnosed. Many millions of people in other words. The details lurking under the headlines are a bit more subtle (depending on how you count those with "pre-diabetes") but the overall message stays the same. More details here: [URL]https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/one-third-of-diabetes-in-the-u-s-is-undiagnosed/[/URL]. Among some ethnic groups, the undiagnosed rate is higher than one-third -- closer to half. Edited to add: We are often told about the diabetes epidemic, or something. But apparently part of the increase is just an improvement in diagnosis, with fewer people going un-diagnosed. [/QUOTE]
