This dataset provides diabetes prevalence estimates by county and sex for the prevalence of diagnosed, undiagnosed, and total diabetes, as well as rates of diagnosis and effective treatment for 1999-2012. The dataset contains estimates for all states and counties, the District of Columbia, and the United States as a whole.

Population-based county-level estimates for diagnosed (DDP), undiagnosed (UDP), and total diabetes prevalence (TDP) were acquired from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) for the years 2004-2012 (Evaluation 2017). Prevalence estimates were calculated using a two-stage approach. The first stage used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data to predict high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels (≥126 mg/dL) and/or hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels (≥6.5% [48 mmol/mol]) based on self-reported demographic and behavioral characteristics (Dwyer-Lindgren, Mackenbach et al. 2016). This model was then applied to Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data to impute high FPG and/or A1C status for each BRFSS respondent (Dwyer-Lindgren, Mackenbach et al. 2016). The second stage used the imputed BRFSS data to fit a series of small area models, which were used to predict the county-level prevalence of each of the diabetes-related outcomes (Dwyer-Lindgren, Mackenbach et al. 2016). Diagnosed diabetes was defined as the proportion of adults (age 20+ years) who reported a previous diabetes diagnosis, represented as an age-standardized prevalence percentage. Undiagnosed diabetes was defined as proportion of adults (age 20+ years) who have a high FPG or HbA1C but did not report a previous diagnosis of diabetes. Total diabetes was defined as the proportion of adults (age 20+ years) who reported a previous diabetes diagnosis and/or had a high FPG/HbA1C. The age-standardized diabetes prevalence (%) was used as the outcome. The EQI was constructed for 2000-2005 for all US counties and is composed of five domains (air, water, built, land, and sociodemographic), each composed of variables to represent the environmental quality of that _domain. Domain-specific EQIs were developed using principal components analysis (PCA) to reduce these variables within each _domain while the overall EQI was constructed from a second PCA from these individual domains (L. C. Messer et al., 2014). To account for differences in environment across rural and urban counties, the overall and _domain-specific EQIs were stratified by rural urban continuum codes (RUCCs) (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2015).

This data package contains dataset on prevalence rates of health conditions and diseases like obesity, diabetes and hearing loss and health risk factors for diseases like tobacco, alcohol and drug use.

This dataset contains number and percentage of diabetes patients in the US during 2013 grouped by ZIP code. The prevalence and incidence of diabetes have increased in the United States in recent decades, no studies have systematically examined long-term, national trends in the prevalence and incidence of diagnosed diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes increased substantially between 2000 and 2007, mainly because there are more patients with a new diagnosis each year than those who die. The increase observed by 2007 almost reached the World Health Organization prediction for 2030.

Population-based county-level estimates for prevalence of DC were obtained from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) for the years 2004-2012 (16). DC prevalence rate was defined as the propor-tion of people within a county who had previously been diagnosed with diabetes (high fasting plasma glu-cose 126 mg/dL, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 6.5%, or diabetes diagnosis) but do not currently have high fasting plasma glucose or HbA1c for the period 2004-2012. DC prevalence estimates were calculated using a two-stage approach. The first stage used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data to predict high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels (≥126 mg/dL) and/or HbA1C levels (≥6.5% [48 mmol/mol]) based on self-reported demographic and behavioral characteristics (16). This model was then applied to Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data to impute high FPG and/or HbA1C status for each BRFSS respondent (16). The second stage used the imputed BRFSS data to fit a series of small area models, which were used to predict county-level prevalence of diabetes-related outcomes, including DC (16). The EQI was constructed for 2006-2010 for all US counties and is composed of five domains (air, water, built, land, and sociodemographic), each composed of variables to represent the environmental quality of that domain. Domain-specific EQIs were developed using principal components analysis (PCA) to reduce these variables within each domain while the overall EQI was constructed from a second PCA from these individual domains (L. C. Messer et al., 2014). To account for differences in environment across rural and urban counties, the overall and domain-specific EQIs were stratified by rural urban continuum codes (RUCCs) (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2015). Results are reported as prevalence rate differences (PRD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) comparing the highest quintile/worst environmental quality to the lowest quintile/best environmental quality expo-sure metrics. PRDs are representative of the entire period of interest, 2004-2012. Due to availability of DC data and covariate data, not all counties were captured, however, the majority, 3134 of 3142 were utilized in the analysis.

In 2022, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in the United States among people aged 18 and over amounted to 8.4 percent.

How many people in the United States have diabetes? It was estimated that in 2022, around 24.4 million people in the United States had been diagnosed with diabetes. The number of people living with diabetes has increased over the past few decades, with only five million people living with diabetes in the year 1980. Diabetes in the United States is more common among older adults with around 24 percent of those aged 65 years and older diagnosed with diabetes, compared to 15 percent of those aged 45 to 64 years.

Leading diabetic states

In 2021, the U.S. states with the highest prevalence of diagnosed diabetes were Alabama, Mississippi, and West Virginia, respectively. Just over 17 percent of adults in Alabama had diabetes that year. Roughly 14 percent of adults in Georgia had been diagnosed with diabetes before or during the measured period, putting the state of Georgia in tenth place.

Around ** percent of the global adult population suffered from diabetes in 2024 - by the year 2050 this number is expected to rise to ** percent. Diabetes, or diabetes mellitus, refers to a group of metabolic disorders that result in chronic high blood sugar levels. Diabetes can lead to serious health complications, such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and stroke, and is now among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide. Prevalence Diabetes is a global problem affecting many countries. China currently has the largest number of diabetics worldwide, with some *** million people suffering from the disease. However, the highest prevalence of diabetes is found in Pakistan, followed by the Marshall Islands and Kuwait. Rates of diabetes have increased in many countries in recent years, as have rates of obesity, one of the leading risk factors for the disease. Outlook It is predicted that diabetes will continue to be a problem in the future. Africa is expected to see a *** percent increase in the number of diabetics in the region from 2024 to 2050, while North America and the Caribbean are expected to see an increase of ** percent. In 2050, China is predicted to be the country with the highest number of diabetics worldwide, with the United States accounting for the fourth-highest number.

Diabetes prevalence (% of population ages 20 to 79) in United States was reported at 13.7 % in 2024, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. United States - Diabetes prevalence (% of population ages 20 to 79) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on July of 2025.

In 2023, there were 22.4 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 26 deaths per 100,000 people in the early 2000s, and about 18 deaths in 1980. Prevalence of diabetes In 2022, around 8.4 percent of the adult population in the U.S. had diabetes. In total, around 38 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.

The US diabetes devices market, a significant segment of the global market, is experiencing robust growth, driven by the rising prevalence of diabetes and an aging population. The market, valued at approximately $25.16 billion in 2025, is projected to expand at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.27% from 2025 to 2033.
