Many Americans should improve diabetes control

February 15, 2013

A couple of decades ago only two-percent of people with any type of diabetes met the three measures of good diabetes management.

By 2010 that number rose to 19-percent.

The measures are average blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Despite improvement the results show continued need for better diabetes control.

In particular young people and some minority groups were below average in meeting the goals.
