This has been a very busy year for most members and a healing one for others. We would like to end the year with good news on the ADA homefront.
The rate of new cases fell by about a fifth from 2008 to 2014, according to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The drop has been gradual and for a number of years was not big enough to be statistically meaningful. But new data for 2014 released on Tuesday serves as a robust confirmation that the decline is real, officials said. There were 1.4 million new cases of diabetes in 2014, down from 1.7 million in 2008.
You can read the entire article in the New York Times article “New Diabetes Cases, at Long Last, Begin to Fall in the United States”.
