A new study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found adults are not doing an effective job controlling blood sugar levels which cause diabetes.
A co-author of the study, Elizabeth Selvin, a professor in the Bloomberg School’s Department of Epidemiology, studied two decades worth of government data involving 7,000 diabetic patients, ending in 2018.
