Diabetes Statistics Show Startling Trends

Diabetes is being referred to as an epidemic, and when you review diabetes statistics, it’s easy to understand why. In 1990, less than 5 percent of the U.S. population had diabetes, and now that figure is up to 7 percent, an increase of 40 percent. Unfortunately, other diabetes statistics paint an even bleaker picture.

It is estimated that there are almost 21 million people in the United States with diabetes, and more than 6 million of those are undiagnosed, probably because the signs of diabetes are often gradual, making them difficult to recognize. Here are some further U.S. diabetes statistics which show startling trends:

  • Over the age of 20, 9.6 percent have diabetes.
  • Over the age of 60, 20.9 percent have diabetes.
  • 10.5 percent of men over 20 have diabetes.
  • 8.8 percent of women over 20 have diabetes.
  • Diabetes is the fifth deadliest disease in the United States.
  • People with diabetes have a 2 to 4 times higher risk of stroke.
  • Diabetes accounts for 44 percent of kidney failures and is the leading cause of kidney failure.
  • In 2002, the direct and indirect cost of diabetes in the United States was $132 billion.

If present diabetes statistics continue, one-third of Americans, including one-half of minorities in America, born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes at some point in their lifetime. Considering these diabetes statistics, anyone who has symptoms and/or risk factors for diabetes should consider diabetes testing as soon as possible. In more than half the cases, type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by adopting a healthier lifestyle.
