Dr. Robin Goland is available for expert commentary on a new study by the New York City Health Department, also published online in the journal Diabetes Care, finding that diabetes is underdiagnosed and undertreated in New York City. The study reports that less than 10 percent of New Yorkers with diabetes are fully controlling their disease, and more than 90 percent of them have elevated blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar -- placing them at increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and other complications. The study also links socioeconomic factors to disease prevalence. Further information is available at NYC.gov.
