In 2023, there were **** deaths from diabetes mellitus per 100,000 people in the United States. The death rate caused by this condition has fluctuated over the past decades, reaching almost ** deaths per 100,000 people in the early 2000s, and about ** deaths in 1980. Prevalence of diabetes In 2022, around *** percent of the adult population in the U.S. had diabetes. In total, around ** million adults in the United States are currently living with diabetes. Of this total, the vast majority were aged 45 years and older. The states with the highest share of adults with diabetes are West Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Cure for diabetes? Researchers are helping diabetics put their Type 2 diabetes into remission, where the blood sugar levels are kept within a healthy range. For Type 1, scientists are looking for ways to prevent the immune system’s attack on beta cells, which causes diabetes. These cells, located in the pancreas, produce the insulin people need to live. As of yet, there is no cure for diabetes mellitus; however, scientists are researching ways to make diabetes harmless one day.

Diabetes continues to be a significant global health concern, with the Western Pacific region reporting the highest number of diabetes-related deaths in 2024, with around 1.2 million. This stark figure underscores the urgent need for improved diabetes prevention and management strategies worldwide. North America and the Caribbean followed with an estimated 526,000 deaths, while Africa is had the lowest number at 216,000. Regional disparities and global impact The prevalence of diabetes varies significantly across regions, reflecting differences in healthcare systems, lifestyle factors, and genetic predispositions. In the United States, the death rate from diabetes mellitus was 22.4 per 100,000 people in 2023, with 8.4 percent of the adult population living with the condition. Canada has seen a slight decrease in its diabetes-related death rate, falling from 21.8 per 100,000 in 2000 to 18.1 per 100,000 in 2023. These figures highlight the ongoing challenges in managing diabetes, even in countries with advanced healthcare systems. European landscape and global context Within Europe, Germany reported the highest number of diabetes-related deaths in 2024, with nearly 63,000 fatalities among adults aged 20 to 79 years. Italy followed closely with around 62,400 deaths. However, Czechia reported the highest mortality rates in Europe as of 2022, with 43.4 diabetes deaths per 100,000 population overall.

Diabetes Mellitus death rates by county, all races (includes Hispanic/Latino), all sexes, all ages, 2019-2023. Death data were provided by the National Vital Statistics System. Death rates (deaths per 100,000 population per year) are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (20 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85-89, 90+). Rates calculated using SEER*Stat. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by the National Cancer Institute. The US Population Data File is used for mortality data. The Average Annual Percent Change is based onthe APCs calculated by the Joinpoint Regression Program (Version 4.9.0.0). Due to data availability issues, the time period used in the calculation of the joinpoint regression model may differ for selected counties. Counties with a (3) after their name may have their joinpoint regresssion model calculated using a different time period due to data availability issues.

Death rate of a population adjusted to a standard age distribution. As most causes of death vary significantly with people's age and sex, the use of standardised death rates improves comparability over time and between countries, as they aim at measuring death rates independently of different age structures of populations. The standardised death rates used here are calculated on the basis of a standard European population (defined by the World Health Organization). Detailed data for 65 causes of death are available in the database (under the heading 'Data').
