Fewer adults with diabetes in the United States have well-controlled blood sugar or blood pressure now compared with 10 years ago, a trend that should be a “wake-up call,' say the authors of a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine:
"There has been a real decline in glycemic control from a decade ago, and overall, only a small proportion of people with diabetes are simultaneously meeting the key goals of glycemic control, blood pressure control, and control of high cholesterol,” she summarized.
And some people receiving this intensive treatment were more likely to develop dangerously low blood sugar levels . The percentage of people with good blood sugar control increased from 44% in the first survey to 57% in the 2007-2010 survey and then dropped to 51% by the final survey.
