Diabetes Prevalence

An estimated 8.3 % (or 25.8 million people) of the US population had diabetes in 2010. If trends continue, an estimated one in three US adults will have diabetes by 2050 [2]. In Texas, approximately 1.7 million adults (aged 18 or older) were living with diagnosed diabetes in 2009 [4]. Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for the large majority of diabetes cases, is usually associated with older age [2]. Approximately 1.9 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in people aged 20 or older in 2010 [2].
