ST. LOUIS MAYOR PROCLAIMS DIABETES CONTROL WEEK TO ADDRESS PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE

St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay (L) signs a proclamation declaring "Diabetes Control Week," while Dr. Charles Kilo, Sr., Professor of Clinical Medicine at Washington University, looks on in St. Louis on September 29, 2005. New data released today revealed that from 2003 to 2004, approximately three out of four (over 70 per cent) type 2 diabetics in St. Louis who were analyzed in a recent study were not in control of their blood sugar - failing to meet the A1C goal of 65.5 per cent or less, according to the American Association of Clinical Endocinologists' (AACE's) "STate of Diabetes in America" Report. As a part of a national effort, doctors across the United States are urging diabetic patients to obtain the knowledge, correct tools and encouragement to take control in order to delay or prevent diabetes-related complications that can be life threatening.
