Prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes among adults in the U.S. from 2021 to 2023, by education
Estimates for diagnosed diabetes are based on responses to the survey question, “Other than during pregnancy, have you ever been told by a doctor or health professional that you have diabetes or sugar diabetes?” Estimates for undiagnosed diabetes are based on an 8- to 24-hour fasting plasma glucose greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL or hemoglobin A1c greater than or equal to 6.5% in a participant who reported never receiving a diabetes diagnosis from a healthcare provider.
