The Michigan Comprehensive diabetes Center brings attention to the alarming rise in the incidence of diabetes with a health fair focused on prevention and treatment.

Analyzing data on 4,045 adults aged 20 to 64 years without diagnosed diabetes, researchers developed a clinical tool to assess the likelihood of fasting glucose impairment (a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal) with the aim of identifying people who might have prediabetes or undiagnosed diabetes.

Analyzing data from a clinical trial of 226 diabetic primary care patients, this study finds that an automated telephone self-management support intervention is a cost effective way to improve patients' diabetes outcomes.
