摘要

About a quarter of people who are predicted by epidemiological studies to have diabetes have not had their condition diagnosed and recorded in practice registers,a new audit shows.Results of the first year of a clinical audit involving over 250,000 people in England were published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre this week,on behalf of the Healthcare Commission.The report points out that people who have not had their diagnosis recorded in practice registers are unlikely to receive optimal care and monitoring.
