More than 30 million people in the US have diabetes, a complex and costly health condition.
Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) services provide the knowledge and skills people need to successfully manage their diabetes, but less than 7% of people with diabetes attend a program in the first year after diagnosis.
Health professionals can help increase participation in DSMES by referring patients to a program or providing them with this nationwide directory of diabetes educators.
The National Diabetes Statistics Report is a periodic publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that provides updated statistics about diabetes in the United States for a scientific audience. It includes information on prevalence and incidence of diabetes, prediabetes, risk factors for complications, acute and long-term complications, deaths, and costs. These data can help focus efforts to prevent and control diabetes across the United States.
