I think people might not be so worried about being tested for diabetes if they understood how simple a procedure it is really. Only one drop of blood is needed in the doctor's office and if he's already taking blood for any other tests, well all it has to be is added to the order form for tests.

Also, I think people have the idea they will have to start taking insulin right away and that scared them. If they understood that they can start to get better by taking a pill, then the fear of asking to be tested might go down a lot.
