Only 30% of adults who possess risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes believe they are at risk, presenting physicians with challenges on how to reach these patients.
A recent survey of healthcare consumers conducted by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) found that only three in 10 adults over the age of 40 who have risk factors for diabetes believe they have ?a great deal? or ?some? risk for developing the chronic condition. Four in 10 of the at-risk adults who responded to the survey said they had no risk for diabetes.
