Stabilizing prevalence with declining incidence supports continued surveillance; leaves open durability and drivers of trends.
Cross-Sectional
After decades of increase, the incidence of diagnosed diabetes in the US has decreased since 2007, while prevalence has plateaued.
Benoit et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Diagnosed diabetes (type 1 and type 2 combined). Calendar year was evaluated on Annual prevalence and incidence of diagnosed diabetes. The incidence of diagnosed diabetes in US adults peaked in 2007 at 7.8 per 1000 adults and then decreased significantly to 6.0 per 1000 adults in 2017.
