Proposed diabetes test misses most cases: study

The most common form of diabetes is Type 2 diabetes which is fat person diabetes.

A new proposed diabetes test could miss millions of cases of diabetes and pre-diabetes and also over-diagnose black Americans if it was used as a screening tool, suggests a new study.

Over 23 million Americans have diabetes - about 8 percent of the population - and another 57 million are at risk for developing diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The annual cost of diabetes in the U.S. recently topped $200 billion, and the disease is linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.

Better not to develop diabetes than be the victim of a bad test.

And if you have diabetes or pre-diabetes, go here and do something about it. (scroll down to The 5-Day Cures (tm) section)
