In 1992-3, WLS respondents were asked whether they had ever been diagnosed with diabetes. In 2004, people are asked whether they had ever been diagnosed with diabetes again, but this time they are also asked when they were diagnosed. About 6% of people who said they had been diagnosed with diabetes in 1992 deny this in 2004, but another 6-10% of those who said they had been diagnosed with diabetes in 1992-3 affirm this in 2004, but say they were first diagnosed sometime after 1993.

It reminds me of something I heard yesterday – a guy was saying how he had this cool photo of himself from the past – to which his pal responded: can you ever have a photo of yourself from the future?
J: An idea supporting your denial hypothesis for the inconsistent reports would be that in 1992 the reports were made via mail and in 2004 the reports were made via phone.
