Abstract
DIABETES MELLITUS (DM) is prevalent in the United States. About 10.5 million persons had a diagnosis of DM in 1999, and about 800 000 new diagnoses are made each year.1 Diabetes is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and the economic burden of DM to the individual and to society is substantial, including direct costs and indirect costs, such as disability, work loss, and premature mortality.1-3This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
