National Diabetes Statistics Report 2022

2022

The National Diabetes Statistics Report provides updated statistics about diabetes in the United States including information on prevalence and incidence of diabetes and prediabetes, risk factors for complications, acute and long-term complications, deaths, and costs. The 2022 report documented that in 2019, more than 37 million people of all ages (11.3% of the U.S. population) had diabetes, but 8.5 million adults (23.0% of adults with diabetes) were not aware of having diabetes.  Among those aged 65 years or older, the percentage of adults with diabetes increased to 29.2%. 

Data sources for this report include the CDC, Indian Health Service (HIS), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, US Census Bureau, and published research studies. The report used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the National Health Interview Survey, the IHS National Data Warehouse, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, United States Diabetes Surveillance System, and population estimates to derive estimated percentages and total number of people with diabetes and prediabetes.
