In a recent study to better understand why so many with prediabetes go undiagnosed, Eva Tseng and a research team created a survey to test
awareness of expert prediabetes guidelines and beliefs regarding prediabetes management.
Although this survey was conducted among primary care providers from a large academically-affiliated practice and may not represent providers from other types of practice settings, we think the findings are a wake-up call for all primary care providers to better recognize the risk factors for prediabetes, which is a major
public health issue,” says Eva Tseng, M.D., M.P. H.
