We are in the midst of an epidemic of diabetes, and the prevalence appears to be especially marked within Delaware. To prevent tragic long-term complications of diabetes, and to minimize the enormous costs associated with treating them, an emphasis must be placed on the early diagnosis and aggressive management of diabetes. The changes in the classification, diagnosis and screening for diabetes should help to redirect the focus to one of preventive care.
我们正处于糖尿病流行之中，而且在特拉华州，其患病率似乎尤为显著。为防止糖尿病引发悲惨的长期并发症，并尽量降低与之相关的巨额治疗费用，必须强调糖尿病的早期诊断和积极治疗。糖尿病在分类、诊断和筛查方面的变化应有助于将重点重新转向预防保健。
