* Overall crude prevalence of diagnosed diabetes = 9.44% (95% CI = 9.01–9.88).
† Type 1 diabetes was defined as self-report of type 1 diabetes and current insulin use. Respondents who self-reported other diabetes types were classified as having “other type” diabetes. All remaining cases were classified as type 2 diabetes.
§ Estimates are weighted percentages and 95% CIs. CIs were based on a logit transformation and might be asymmetric about the point estimate.
¶ Estimate might be unreliable because of large relative standard error (>30%); data not shown.
