| Sex | Beginning | End | Beginning | End | APC1 | 95% CI |
| Male | 1980 | 2005 | 20.8 | 44.1 | 3.4* | 3.2–3.7 |

| 1980 | 2012 | 28.7 | 47.2 | 1.7* | 1.5–1.9 | |
Note: ASMR: age-standardized mortality rate for diabetes mellitus per 100,000; APC: annual percent change; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval
1 We computed the Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) over the entire period considered (1980–2012).
* The APC is significantly different from zero at level of significance = 0.05.
