Self-Rated Fair or Poor Health
among
Adults with Diabetes- United States, 1996-2005
(12/1/06)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5545a2.htm
PDF (p. 1224)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5545.pdf
This report summarizes the findings of the analysis, which indicated
that self-rated fair or poor health was three times more common among
adults with diabetes than among those without diabetes and that the
prevalence increased during 1996-2005 among young adults (i.e., aged
18-44 years) with diabetes. In 2005, the age-specific prevalence of fair
or poor health was significantly lower among persons aged 18-44 years
than among those aged 45-64 years or 75 years and older. In addition, the
age-adjusted prevalence was higher among women compared with men; among
non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics compared with non-Hispanic whites;
among persons without health insurance coverage compared with those with
coverage; among current smokers compared with nonsmokers; and among
insulin users compared with those who did not use insulin. In addition,
as level of education increased, the age-adjusted prevalence decreased.
As duration of diabetes increased, prevalence also increased.
Diagnosed Diabetes
among
American Indians and Alaska Natives Under Age 35 Years- United States,
1994-2004
(12/1/06)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5544a4.htm
PDF
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5544.pdf
Prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased with age and, in 2004, ranged
from 2.2 per 1,000 population among AI/ANs under age 15 years to 46.8 per
1,000 population among those aged 25-34 years. In 2004, the age-adjusted
prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was 20.2 per 1,000 among AI/AN females
and 13.7 among males. During 1994-2004, prevalence of diagnosed diabetes
was greater among females than males in all age groups; prevalence also
increased steadily for both sexes and in all age groups, with the
exception of males aged 25-34 years.
Diabetes Care Better Than
Ten Years Ago (9/19/06)
http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/news/docs/diabetescare.htm
A recently published study indicates improvement in diabetes care over the
past 10 years. This summary looks at changes in glucose and cholesterol
control, along with blood pressure; yearly eye and foot examinations; new
national initiatives on quality care; and reasons why we need to continually
focus on effective treatment and preventive measures.
Diabetes
and Pregnancy (4/24/06)
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/bd/diabetespregnancyfaqs.htm
Diabetes is often detected in women during their childbearing years and
can affect the health of both the mother and her unborn child. Poor control
of diabetes in a woman who is pregnant increases the chance for birth defects
and other problems for the baby and might cause serious complications for
the woman. Proper health care before and during pregnancy will help prevent
birth defects and other poor outcomes, such as miscarriage and stillbirth.

Incidence
of End-Stage Renal Disease among Persons with Diabetes- United States,
1990-2002 (11/30/05)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5443a2.htm
PDF
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5443.pdf
To examine trends in End-Stage Renal Disease attributed to diabetes mellitus
(ESRD-DM) in the United States, CDC analyzed 1990-2002 data from the United
States Renal Data System and the National Health Interview Survey. This
report summarizes the findings of that analysis, which indicated that,
although the number of new cases of ESRD-DM increased overall, the incidence
of ESRD-DM among persons with diabetes is not increasing among blacks,
Hispanics, men, and persons aged 65-74 years, and is declining among persons
aged <65 years, women, and whites.
 The Eagle’s
Nest (11/30/05)
http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/eagle/
The Eagle’s Nest is a safe (online) place to visit where kids can
learn more about living healthy and diabetes. It is for those who may have
diabetes or have a friend or relative with diabetes. For most American
Indians and Alaska Natives, the eagle represents balance, courage, healing,
strength, and wisdom, and is seen as a messenger or a teacher. In the Eagle
book series, the wise bird teaches children how to use these values to
prevent diabetes and grow safe and strong.
General Information and National Estimates on Diabetes in the United States,
2005 (Press Fact
Sheet) (10/30/05)
http://www.cdc.gov/media/pressrel/fs051026.htm
National Diabetes
Fact Sheet http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/factsheet05.htm
Diabetes now affects nearly 21 million Americans – or 7 percent of
the U.S. population – and more than 6 million of those people do
not know they have diabetes, according to the latest prevalence data released
by CDC. This number represents an additional 2.6 million people with diabetes
since 2002. Another 41 million people are estimated to have pre-diabetes,
a condition that increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes– the
most common form of the disease– as well as heart disease and stroke.

PDF (p. 333)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5413.pdf
For this report, data from the 2001-2003 Guam Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System were analyzed to determine the prevalence of
preventive-care practices among persons with diabetes in Guam. Results
of the analysis indicated that Guam residents with diabetes remain below
the
national targets for 2010 for four preventive-care practices, most notably
self-monitoring of blood glucose. Men were significantly less likely than
women to report daily self-monitoring of blood glucose (21.4% versus
50.3%); and persons aged 18-44 years were significantly less likely than
persons aged >65 years to report having their HbA1c measured at least
twice annually.
2004 Publications and Materials
Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity among Adults with Diagnosed Diabetes-
United States, 1988-1994 and 1999-2002 (11/30/04)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5345a2.htm
PDF (p. 1066)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5345.pdf
CDC analyzed the prevalence of overweight and obesity among U.S. adults aged
>20 years with previously diagnosed diabetes by using data from two surveys:
the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III),
1988-1994, and NHANES 1999-2002. This report summarizes the results of that
analysis, which indicated that most adults with diagnosed diabetes were
overweight or obese. During 1999-2002, the prevalence of overweight or
obesity was 85.2%, and the prevalence of obesity was 54.8%. Among women in
the 1999-2002 survey, the prevalence of overweight or obesity was 84.2%, and
the prevalence of obesity was 58.0%. Compared with women aged >65 years,
women aged 20-64 years had a significantly higher prevalence of obesity
(64.7% versus 47.4%).
Prevalence of Visual Impairment and Selected Eye Diseases among Persons Aged
>50 Years With and Without Diabetes- United States, 2002
(11/30/04)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5345a3.htm
PDF (p. 1069)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5345.pdf
To characterize the prevalence of visual impairment and selected eye
diseases (i.e., diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, macular degeneration, and
glaucoma) among persons aged >50 years with and without diabetes, CDC
analyzed data from the 2002 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). This
report summarizes the findings of that analysis, which identified a
substantially higher prevalence of visual impairment and eye disease among
those with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. The prevalence of
visual impairment, cataracts, and glaucoma was higher among persons aged
>50 years with diabetes than among those without diabetes, overall, and
for most groups examined. Among persons with diabetes, the age-adjusted
prevalence of visual impairment was higher among women than men (28.5%
versus 19.2%) and higher among those with less than high school education
than among those with high school or more education (30.5% versus 20.9%).
Among persons with diabetes, the prevalence of cataracts was higher among
persons aged >65 years than persons aged 50-64 years (50.3% versus
16.1%), higher among women than men (37.3% versus 26.7%), and higher among
non-Hispanic whites than those of other racial/ethnic populations (34.8%
versus 24.1%).
Prevalence of Diabetes among Hispanics- Selected Areas (California, Florida,
Illinois, New York/New Jersey, Texas, Puerto Rico), 1998-2002 (10-30-04)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5340a3.htm
PDF (p. 941)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5340.pdf
CDC analyzed data from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys to
estimate the prevalence of diabetes among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white
adults residing in six states and among Hispanics in Puerto Rico, assessing
disparities by geographic location. This report summarizes the findings of
that analysis, which indicated that Hispanics continued to have a higher
prevalence of diabetes than non-Hispanic whites and that disparities in
diabetes between these two populations varied by area of residence. Overall,
the age-adjusted diabetes prevalence among Hispanics was approximately twice
that among non-Hispanic whites (9.8% versus 5.0%).

Social and
Cultural Barriers to Diabetes Prevention in Oklahoma American Indian Women
(3/30/04)
http://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2004/apr/03_0017.htm
In-home qualitative interviews were conducted with 79 American Indian women
from 3 tribal clinics in northeast Oklahoma to identify a cultural
definition of health and diabetes. The women interviewed defined health in
terms of physical functionality and absence of disease, with family members
and friends serving as treatment promoters. Conversely, the women considered
their overall health to be a personal issue addressed individually without
burdening others. The women presented a fatalistic view of diabetes,
regarding the disease as an inevitable event that destroys health and
ultimately results in death.

History of
Foot Ulcer Among Persons with Diabetes- United States, 2000-2002
(11/18/03)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5245a3.htm
PDF (p. 1098)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5245.pdf
To estimate the percentage of U.S. adults with diabetes who had a history of
a foot ulcer, CDC analyzed data from the 2000-2002 Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System. This report summarizes the findings of that analysis,
which indicate that persons with longer duration of diabetes who used
insulin and who smoked were most likely to have a history of foot ulcer. The
percentage did not differ significantly by sex, education level, health
insurance coverage, blood sugar monitoring, and diabetes management
education. Among persons with diabetes, foot ulcers and lower extremity
amputations can be reduced by 44%-85%.
Self-Reported Heart Disease and Stroke Among Adults With and Without
Diabetes - United States, 1999-2001 (11/10/03)

Fact Sheet
http://www.cdc.gov/media/pressrel/fs031106.htm
Data from the 1999-2001 National Health Interview Surveys indicate that the
age-adjusted prevalence of reported heart disease and stroke is
approximately two to three times greater among persons with diabetes than
among persons without diabetes. Prevention of diabetes can decrease the
prevalence of heart disease and stroke. Improved diet, weight loss, and
increased physical activity can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes among
adults with impaired glucose tolerance.

http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/action/
The Action Plan challenges us as a nation to reach beyond our traditional
boundaries of public and private health care, federal and state politics,
community programs and academic research, and media and training. It poses a
vision of a nation in which diabetes among women is prevented or at least
delayed whenever possible, and it outlines a rational and feasible plan for
making that vision a reality.
Prevalence
of Diabetes - U.S. Virgin Islands, 1999-2001
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5227a3.htm
PDF (p. 637)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5227.pdf
This report summarizes findings from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) data analysis, which indicate that approximately 8.0% of U.S.
Virgin Islands (USVI) residents aged >18 years have diagnosed
diabetes, and the prevalence of diabetes among blacks and Hispanics in USVI
is comparable to that among blacks and Hispanics in the 50 states. The
prevalence increased with age from 1.9% among persons aged <45 years to
11.6% among persons aged 45-64 years to 20.3% among persons aged >65
years. After standardizing for age, the prevalence of diabetes was higher
among women (9.0%) than among men (6.7%). To prevent the burden of diabetes
and diabetes-related complications in residents and to improve the quality
of life for persons with diabetes, initiatives in USVI should target all
persons with diabetes. BRFSS is a state-based, random-digit-dialed telephone
survey of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged >18
years in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and
USVI.

Telebriefing
http://www.cdc.gov/media/transcripts/t020221.htm
To assess the socioeconomic status of women with diabetes, CDC analyzed data
from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which indicated that
the socioeconomic status of women with diabetes in 2000 was markedly lower
than that of women without diabetes. Women with diabetes were more likely
than women without diabetes to be aged >45 years; nonwhite; divorced,
separated, or widowed; living alone; retired; or unable to work. Overall,
women with diabetes were approximately twice as likely as women without
diabetes to have an annual household income <$25,000. Women account for
approximately 52% of all persons aged >20 years with diabetes.

Major
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) During 1997-1999 and Major CVD Hospital
Discharge Rates in 1997 Among Women with Diabetes - United States
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5043a2.htm
PDF (p. 948)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5043.pdf
Findings indicate that the age-adjusted prevalence of major CVD for women
with diabetes is twice that for women without diabetes and that the
age-adjusted major CVD hospital discharge rate for women with diabetes is
almost four times the rate for women without diabetes. These findings
underscore the need to reduce risk factors associated with CVD among all
women with diabetes through focused public health and clinical efforts. CVD
is the leading cause of death among all women and the risk for death from
CVD among women with diabetes is two to four times higher than that for
women without diabetes.
Diabetes & Women's
Health Across the Life Stages: A Public Health Perspective
http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/pdf/women.pdf
The monograph is structured to examine the impact of diabetes through the
life stages of the woman. Within each chapter, authors discuss the
prevalence of diabetes, the sociodemographic characteristics of women with
diabetes in the age group, the impact of diabetes on women抯 health status,
health-related behaviors, access to care, the psychosocial determinants of
health-related behaviors and health outcomes, comorbid conditions as
determinants of health behaviors and health outcomes, and the public health
implications of pertinent findings for each life stage. The last chapter
summarizes the findings and presents their public health implications.
Currently an
estimated 16 million Americans have diabetes, more than half of them women.
The prevalence of diabetes is at least 2-4 times higher among black,
Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian/Pacific Islander women than among white
women.
Congressional Testimony - Diabetes in American Indians
http://www.cdc.gov/washington/testimony/diabetes.htm
This is the testimony of Frank Vinicor, M.D., M.P.H., Diabetes Program
Director for CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, before the Senate Finance Committee, Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT).
Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death among American Indians and
Alaskan Natives. The number of diagnosed cases of diabetes among American
Indians and Alaska Natives rose from about 43,000 to 64,500 [from 1990 to
1997]. Although women were more likely to have diagnosed diabetes than men
in terms of absolute numbers, the increase among men was higher (37 percent)
than the increase among women (25 percent).
