Diabetes Report Card 2012: National and State Profile of Diabetes and Its Complications
Preventive Care Practices and Quality of Care
Diabetes complications are debilitating, costly, and sometimes deadly. Diabetes complications tend to be more common or more severe among people whose diabetes is poorly controlled. Diabetes control, achieved through diabetes care and management and clinical preventive care practices, keeps people with diabetes healthy and can improve health outcomes.
Preventive care practices are essential to diabetes care. Figure 4 shows the percentage of U.S. adults with diagnosed diabetes who received some of the preventive care practices recommended for them during the survey period of 2009–2010. Examples include annual eye exams, annual foot exams, and daily monitoring of blood glucose. Several of the national health objectives in Healthy People 2020 call for increasing the percentage of people with diabetes who are practicing these recommendations.
Table 3 presents state-level percentages of U.S. adults with diabetes who report receiving the recommended preventive care practices. State-specific trend data for these services are available at http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/DDTSTRS/StateSurvData.aspx.
