In 2016, in people with diabetes, BMI was higher, and total cholesterol lower, yet the proportions of those receiving lifestyle advice (dietary and activity) remained unchanged from 2006-2008 levels. Smoking prevalence in people with diabetes was unchanged between the two surveys, although more people were ...Continue Reading
