Thanks for the article Will. Scary, like: over 40% of their inpatients are dxd. with Diabetes?? Wow! That's Great that they are identifying on admission those affected by diabetes. It's about time. I told my Family Doctor years ago that every Person who supposedly does not have Diabetes, should be tested. It doesn't cost that much. Then millions of undiagnosed PWD wouldn't be walking around for years, gaining complications.

"how to influence patients who refuse to accept an unexpected diagnosis".

It takes more than a month....years even for some to accept their diagnosis. I do hope they succeed in that tough one. Many of these People need continuing motivation to keep them on track along the way with their regime also.

Glad that you were the first Patient at the clinic. That's impressive. :)
