DM indicates diabetes mellitus; NH, non-Hispanic. Ellipses (…) indicate data not available.
Undiagnosed DM is defined as those whose fasting glucose is ≥126 mg/dL but who did not report being told by a healthcare provider that they had DM. Prediabetes is a fasting blood glucose of 100 to <126 mg/dL (impaired fasting glucose); prediabetes includes impaired glucose tolerance.
These percentages represent the portion of total DM mortality that is for males vs females.

Mortality data include Hispanics.
Sources: Prevalence: Prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2010, National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Percentages for racial/ethnic groups are age-adjusted for Americans ≥20 years of age. Age-specific percentages are extrapolations to the 2010 US population estimates. Mortality: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/NCHS, 2009 Mortality Multiple Cause–US, Version July 19, 2012. These data represent underlying cause of death only. Hospital discharges: National Hospital Discharge Survey, NCHS; data include those inpatients discharged alive, dead, or status unknown.
