For the past several years, GSK has offered free screening events for a number of common conditions in communities across the US. After looking at the results (de-identified, of course...these are aggregated results), we found that not only is our population ill (we already knew that, since it has been well-reported that nearly half of us have at least one chronic disease), but many individuals with chronic diseases, like diabetes, thought they were managing their health properly.
It just shows that we can never let our guard down in the fight against the epidemic of chronic diseases. Take a look at the study results in the interactive graphic above (and feel free to share it with others!).
