Diabetes Control Requires Options Based on Data
Last weekend the European Association for the Study of Diabetes convened in Copenhagen for their 42nd annual meeting. As reported in Zee News, Dr. Targ Elgzyri from Lund University, Malmo, Sweden presented data that found "people who develop type 2 diabetes when they're younger than 50 years of age are more likely to experience a worsening of their disease than those diagnosed at an older age."
He said the study was conducted because "we found, as previously shown, a progressive rise in HbA1c over time in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes despite different modes of therapy."
