(excerpt)
Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes and an estimated 79 million
U.S. adults have prediabetes‚ according to new estimates from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
How much, if any, of that results from lowering threshholds for
diagnosis?
Probably a significant amount. If they changed the threshold for blood
pressure, or cholesterol, there would be millions of new cases of that
as well. I also think doctors are checking more people than ever
before.
