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. On a global scale, diabetes remains a major health concern, with 19 percent of adults worldwide identifying it as one of the biggest health problems in their country.

To reduce deaths from diabetes.

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.

In 1990, the mortality rate of diabetes mellitus worldwide was around **** per 100,000 population. By 2019, the mortality rate of diabetes mellitus had decreased to **** per 100,000 population. Diabetes is among the leading ten causes of death worldwide.

Over the past 40 years, an increase in deaths due to diabetes mellitus has been observed in Germany and by 2023, this figure totaled almost ****** deaths. This statistic shows the number of deaths due to diabetes mellitus in Germany between 1980 and 2023.

In 2024, there were around ****** deaths caused by diabetes in Taiwan. The death rate was slightly higher for males than for females, residing at around **** deaths per 100,000 male population. Cancer, heart diseases, and pneumonia were the leading fatal diseases on the island.

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.

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').

The graph displays the number of diabetes-related deaths in the United States from 1999 to 2023. The x-axis represents the years, shown as full four-digit numbers from 1999 to 2023, while the y-axis shows the total number of annual deaths attributed to diabetes. Over this period, the number of deaths ranged from a low of 68,399 in 1999 to a peak of 103,000 in 2021. A sharp rise in diabetes deaths occurred between 2019 and 2021, followed by a gradual decline in the subsequent years. The graph highlights year-to-year changes in diabetes mortality rates.
