Prevalence and Awareness of Prediabetes

摘要

After the American Diabetes Association adjusted the criterion for prediabetes from 110-125 mg/dL to 100-125 mg/dL, an additional 45.9 and 70.6 million adults, respectively, were at risk for developing type 2 diabetes in 2003 (16.1 million) and 2010 (86.7 million). Based on screening for hemoglobin A1C (HbA_1c), 34.1 million adults (14.2%) were pre-diabetic (range: 5.7%-6.5%), and when these data were combined with those for fasting plasma glucose (FPG), the prevalence increased to 77.3 million (32.2%).
