The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes and prediabetes in the United States increases dramatically with each updated report. In 2011-2012, the estimated prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was 12% to 14% among US adults, with a higher prevalence among non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic Asian, and Hispanic individuals. 1 Menke A. Casagrande S. Geiss L. Cowie C.C. Prevalence of and trends in diabetes among adults in the United States, 1988-2012. JAMA. 2015; 314: 1021-1029 Crossref PubMed Scopus (1259) Google Scholar The prevalence of prediabetes was 37% to 38% in the overall population and, consequently, 49% to 52% of the US population was estimated to have either diabetes or prediabetes. It is encouraging to note that rates of diabetes-related complications have declined substantially in the past 2 decades (depending on the complication, ranging from −67.8% to −28.3%); however, a large burden of the disease persists because of the continued increase in the prevalence of diabetes. 2 Gregg E.W.
