Demographic and geographic distribution of diabetes and pre-diabetes risk in rural settings: results from a cross-sectional, countywide rural health survey in Sullivan County, New York
Our mailed health survey to all residents in Sullivan County demonstrated higher diabetes prevalence compared with modelled BRFSS estimates that were based on small telephone samples. Our results suggest the need for better diabetes surveillance in rural communities, which may benefit from interventions specifically tailored for improving glycaemic control among rural residents.
