The 2017 National Diabetes Statistics Report Is Here
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released the 2017 Diabetes Statistics Report with estimates for “prevalence and incidence of diabetes, prediabetes, risk factors for complications, acute and long-term complications, deaths, and costs.” Where are we now? There are 30.3 million people with diabetes (9.4% of the US population) including 23.1 million people who are diagnosed and 7.2 million people (23.8%) undiagnosed. The numbers for prediabetes indicate that 84.1 million adults (33.9% of the adult U.S. population) have prediabetes, including 23.1 million adults aged 65 years or older (the age group with highest rate). The estimated percentage of individuals with type 1 diabetes remains at 5% among those with diabetes. The statistics are also provided by age, gender, ethnicity, and for each state/territory so you can search for these specifics. The CDC has produced wonderful infographics, “A Snapshot of Diabetes in the U.S.” and “Prediabes: Could it be You?” for everyone to use and reproduce. They illustrate estimates for diabetes, prediabetes, the cost of diabetes (dollars, risk of death, medical costs), specifics about type 1 and type 2 diabetes, risk factors for type 2 diabetes, and a “What You Can Do” section. If we compare the numbers with previous estimates, we see that there has been an increase in those with diabetes and a decrease in those with prediabetes. However, the numbers are all still extremely high, and the costs and health burdens are staggering! What can we do with these statistics? Use them to help focus efforts to prevent and control diabetes in the U.S. Share the positive messages regarding prevention strategies with those at risk of developing or with type 2 diabetes Distribute the information to local media and Continue reading >>
Type 2 Diabetes Statistics: Facts And Trends
Diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, is a disease that causes high blood sugar. It occurs when there is a problem with insulin. Insulin is a hormone that takes sugar from foods and moves it to the body's cells. If the body does not make enough insulin or does not use insulin well, the sugar from food stays in the blood and causes high blood sugar. There are several different types of diabetes, but the most common is type 2. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Diabetes Report, 2014, 90 to 95 percent of people with diabetes in the United States have type 2. Just 5 percent of people have type 1. Contents of this article: Key facts about diabetes in the U.S. Diabetes is at an all-time high in the U.S. The CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation states that 1 percent of the population, which is about a half of a million people, had diagnosed diabetes in 1958. Today, nearly 10 percent of the population have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). That's 29.1 million Americans, and more than a quarter of these people do not know they have it. The ADA report that the number of people who have diabetes increased by 382 percent from 1988 to 2014. The risk of developing diabetes increases with age. The CDC report that 4.1 percent of people age 20-44 have diabetes, but the number jumps to 25.9 percent for people over 65 years old. As obesity has become more prevalent over the past few decades, so too has the rate of type 2 diabetes. An article in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology states that 25.6 percent of Americans are obese, much higher than the 15.3 percent of obese people in 1995. In that same period, the incidence of diabetes increased by 90 percent. Although the link between obesity and diabetes is well Continue reading >>
Type 2 Diabetes Statistics And Facts
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Read on to learn some of the key facts and statistics about the people who have it and how to manage it. Risk factors Many risk factors for type 2 diabetes include lifestyle decisions that can be reduced or even cut out entirely with time and effort. Men are also at slightly higher risk of developing diabetes than women. This may be more associated with lifestyle factors, body weight, and where the weight is located (abdominally versus in the hip area) than with innate gender differences. Significant risk factors include: older age excess weight, particularly around the waist family history certain ethnicities physical inactivity poor diet Prevalence Type 2 diabetes is increasingly prevalent but also largely preventable. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes in adults. The CDC also gives us the following information: In general Research suggests that 1 out of 3 adults has prediabetes. Of this group, 9 out of 10 don't know they have it. 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, but 8.1 million may be undiagnosed and unaware of their condition. About 1.4 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in United States every year. More than one in every 10 adults who are 20 years or older has diabetes. For seniors (65 years and older), that figure rises to more than one in four. Cases of diagnosed diabetes cost the United States an estimated $245 billion in 2012. This cost is expected to rise with the increasing diagnoses. In pregnancy and parentingAccording to the CDC, 4.6 to 9.2 percent of pregnancies may be affected by gestational diabetes. In up to 10 percent of them, the mother is diagnosed w Continue reading >>

Key facts The number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 (1). The global prevalence of diabetes* among adults over 18 years of age has risen from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014 (1). Diabetes prevalence has been rising more rapidly in middle- and low-income countries. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. In 2015, an estimated 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes. Another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to high blood glucose in 2012**. Almost half of all deaths attributable to high blood glucose occur before the age of 70 years. WHO projects that diabetes will be the seventh leading cause of death in 2030 (1). Healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco use are ways to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activity, medication and regular screening and treatment for complications. What is diabetes? Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. In 2014, 8.5% of adults aged 18 years and older had diabetes. In 2015, diabetes was the direct cause of 1.6 million deaths and in 2012 high blood glucose was the cause of another 2.2 million deaths. Type 1 diabetes Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent, juvenile or childhood-onset) is charact Continue reading >>

Diabetes Prevalence Data Herald High Rates Of Kidney Disease In Years Ahead
Kidney News Current Issue Diabetes Prevalence Data Herald High Rates of Kidney Disease in Years Ahead Diabetes Prevalence Data Herald High Rates of Kidney Disease in Years Ahead A recently released report on diabetes prevalence underscores the need for determined efforts to contain the burden of diabetes and diabetic complications in the years ahead. The Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) 2017 National Diabetes Statistic Report highlights the devastating impact of diabetes in the US, with estimates suggesting that 30 million Americans have diabetes and another 70 million meet criteria for prediabetes. More than a third of US adults have prediabetes, and the majority dont know it, said CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald, MD. Now, more than ever, we must step up our efforts to reduce the burden of this serious disease. The aging US population and sky-high percentage of Americans with prediabetes mean diabetes-related complications will continue to be a concern moving forward. Based on a US Renal Data System report, more than 52,000 Americans developed ESRD with diabetes as the primary cause during 2014. Adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, the rate of diabetes-related ESRD was 154.4 per 1 million persons. The National Diabetes Statistics Report is a periodic update on diabetes in the US, with estimates drawn from CDC data systems and other sources. The 2017 report estimates that 9.4% of all Americansand 12% of adultsare affected by diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes. In the absence of a physician diagnosis, diabetes was defined as a fasting plasma glucose level of 126 mg/dL or higher, or an HbA1c level of 6.5% or higher. Prediabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose of 100 to 125 mg/dL or HbA1c of 5.7% to 6.4%. The estimates dont differentiate between Continue reading >>
November Is National Diabetes Month
Diabetes can be a devastating illness. It’s the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States, causing more than 76,000 deaths annually, and even when the disease isn’t fatal, it can have serious consequences: every year nearly 12 million people have to report to the ER due to complications caused by the disease. One of the worst facts about diabetes, however, is that many people who have the illness are unaware. Experts estimate that as many as one-quarter of those with diabetes have yet to be diagnosed, leaving them vulnerable to the gradual destruction of their health caused by high blood sugar. Because diabetes is dangerous and sometimes overlooked, the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) has named November National Diabetes Month. This event, which has continued uninterrupted since 1975, aims to promote awareness of the disease among the general public and recognize the daily struggle of millions of Americans to stay healthy in the face of this potentially devastating illness. Spreading Awareness The main goal of National Diabetes Month is to give physicians, public health officials, and those with diabetes a time to gain the attention of their community. To that end, the NDEP holds events and provides resources to those working to educate their friends and neighbors about the illness. The NDEP has set up a website to promote National Diabetes Month, and this website hosts several useful tools, including posts to publicize National Diabetes Month on social media (including free web posters and Facebook and Twitter cover images), pre-designed wall posters and flyers, and pre-written public service announcements suitable for local radio and television stations. In addition, the website offers a pre-recorded webinar and videos about National Diabetes Continue reading >>

The greatest increase in prevalence is, however, occurring in low- and middle-income countries[1] including in Asia and Africa, where most patients will probably be found by 2030.[3] The increase in incidence in developing countries follows the trend of urbanization and lifestyle changes, including increasingly sedentary lifestyles, less physically demanding work and the global nutrition transition, marked by increased intake of foods that are high energy-dense but nutrient-poor (often high in sugar and saturated fats, sometimes referred to as the Western pattern diet).[1][3] The risk of getting type 2 diabetes has been widely found to be associat Continue reading >>
General Information | Alabama Department Of Public Health (adph)
Diabetes is a disease in which glucose (sugar) builds up in the blood stream because the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Glucose comes from the food we eat and is needed by our bodies to produce energy. Insulin is made by cells in the pancreas and moves glucose from our bloodstream into our cells. The goal of a person with diabetes should be to lower their blood sugar levels and improve their bodys use of insulin. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, estimates that 30.3 million people (9.4% of the U.S. population) had diabetes in 2015. Of those with diabetes, 7.2 million people do not know they have it. ( CDC, National Diabetes Statistics Report 2017 ) Estimates also suggested that of those age 65 years old and older, over 25% have diabetes and some maybe unaware they have the condition.( CDC, National Diabetes Statistics Report 2017 ) It was reported that 7.2 million hospital discharges and 14.2 million emergency department visits in the United States were reported to have had diabetes as a listed diagnosis in 2014 (data only included U.S. adults aged 18 years or older).( CDC, National Diabetes Statistics Report 2017 ) Diabetes was the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States and Alabama in 2014 and 2015. It is projected that diabetes will become the seventh-leading cause of death in the world by 2030. ( World Health Organization, Diabetes Fact Sheet, 2017 ) By having diabetes, adults are at a higher risk of blindness, kidney problems, heart disease, and stroke.

Illinois Diabetes Prevention And Control Program
Illinois Diabetes Prevention and Control Program Home Topics & Services Diseases and Conditions Diabetes Illinois Diabetes Prevention and Control Program Illinois Diabetes Prevention and Control Program Diabetes is serious chronic disease that poses a major public health problem. More than 827,000 adults in Illinois have been diagnosed with diabetes, and each year more than 2,700 residents die from the disease. Many more suffer from complications such as heart disease, vision loss, and amputations. The burden of diabetes is even higher among minority populations, such as African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders. With the return of the diabetes program to the Illinois Department of Public Health through Governor Quinns Executive Order, the Department is working to improve the health of people at risk for, or affected by, diabetes. Please explore the numerous professional and general diabetes resources on this website to learn more about diabetes and this program; they are located in the right-hand column under the sections titled Resources and Publications. As of July 1, 2010, the Diabetes Prevention and Control Program, which had been part of the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) since 1997, was transferred to the Illinois Department of Public Health. Governor Pat Quinn signed Executive Order 6 (2010) on April 1 to set this reorganization in motion. The diabetes program had moved from the Illinois Department of Public Health in 1997 as part of the restructuring of the states human services delivery system that created DHS. With that change, Illinois became the only state in the country in which the diabetes program was not part of the state health department. By returning the program to public health, it b Continue reading >>

Quick Facts Diabetes In Minnesota
How many adults in Minnesota have diabetes? 2015, 7.6% of Minnesota adults (about 320,000)1 had been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or 2). Around 18,000 new cases are diagnosed in Minnesota each year (2010)1 Around 1 in 4 people with diabetes do not know that they have the disease2. For information about diabetes in the US, please read the National Diabetes Statistics Report 2017. Are there disparities in diabetes rates in Minnesota? Disparities happen when the health of a group of people are negatively affected by factors like how much money they earn, their race or ethnicity, or where they live. In Minnesota, we currently collect data specific to two of these factors. Education: In 2015, about 5.4 percent1* of adults who have a college degree report having diabetes compared with 8.5 percent1* of adults who do not. Income: Health survey data from 2013 through 2015 show that self-reported diabetes rates are higher for people living in households that earn lower incomes1*. How is Minnesota monitoring diabetes management? Healthcare providers measure five diabetes goals to monitor how well a patient’s diabetes is controlled. These goals are influenced by a number of different factors: individual factors, community-level factors, and healthcare-related factors. This information is reported as the Optimal Diabetes Care measure. Overall in Minnesota, 53 percent of adults met all five diabetes goals3. There are disparities in the percentage of people who meet all five diabetes goals. We show some of the disparities observed in 2014 below: Race: 31 percent of American Indian or Alaska Native meet the Optimal Diabetes Care measure as compared to 59 percent of Asian adults3. Ethnicity: 46 percent of Hispanic or Latino adults meet the Optimal Diabetes Care measure as compared Continue reading >>

Trends In The Pervasiveness Of Type 2 Diabetes, Impaired Fasting Glucose And Co-morbidities During An 8-year-follow-up Of Nationwide Korean Population
Article | Open Trends in the pervasiveness of type 2 diabetes, impaired fasting glucose and co-morbidities during an 8-year-follow-up of nationwide Korean population Scientific Reports volume 7, Articlenumber:46656 (2017) The prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes, impaired fasting glucose, and co-morbidities from 2006 to 2013 in the population aged 30 years were estimated using the Korean NHIS database. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes increased 0.20.5% annually, from 5.6% in 2006 to 8% in 2013. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was higher in men than in women and increased with age. The incidence of type 2 diabetes was 0.81% in 2013 and was 1.4 times higher in men than in women and increased with age. An overall decrease in the incidence rate occurred from 2006 to 2013(from 0.95 to 0.81%), which was mirrored in all age groups except the 3039-year-old group. The prevalence of IFG was 25% in 2013. The prevalence of hypertension(62.5 vs 16.9%) and dyslipidemia(49.5 vs 9.7%) were more prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to non-diabetic cases. This study shows that type 2 diabetes is both common and increasing and that one-quarter of the Korean adult population has IFG. We also confirmed that the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia are 3.7-fold and 5.1-fold higher, respectively, in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic adults. Diabetes, which causes damage to many organ systems, is a considerable health challenge and economic burden for society, as well as for the individual 1 , 2 . Epidemiological studies that include the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and concomitant co-morbidities have a pronounced impact on proper disease management, prevention programs, and estimations of the burden of these diseases 3 .
