TL;DR
The recent prevalence and update US trends in total diabetes, diagnosed diabetes, and undiagnosed diabetes using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data was estimated using cross-sectional surveys conducted between 1988-1994 and 1999-2012.
Abstract
In 2011-2012, the estimated prevalence of diabetes was 12% to 14% among US adults, depending on the criteria used, with a higher prevalence among participants who were non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic Asian, and Hispanic. Between 1988-1994 and 2011-2012, the prevalence of diabetes increased in the overall population and in all subgroups evaluated.

The proportion of Asian people with a high risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is substantial at BMIs lower than the existing WHO cut-off point for overweight (> or =25 kg/m2), but available data do not necessarily indicate a clear BMI cut-offs point for all Asians for overweight or obesity.

In 2009-2010, the prevalence of obesity was 35.5% among adult men and 35.8% amongadult women, with no significant change compared with 2003-2008, and trends in BMI were similar to obesity trends.

The estimated 132 billion US dollars cost of diabetes likely underestimates the true burden of diabetes because it omits intangibles, such as pain and suffering, care provided by nonpaid caregivers, and several areas of health care spending where people with diabetes probably use services at higher rates than people without diabetes.

Glycaemia and diabetes are rising globally, driven both by population growth and ageing and by increasing age-specific prevalences, and effective preventive interventions are needed, and health systems should prepare to detect and manage diabetes and its sequelae.

The estimated total economic cost of diagnosed diabetes in 2012 is $245 billion, a 41% increase from the previous estimate of $174 billion (in 2007 dollars), which highlights the substantial burden that diabetes imposes on society.

Analyses of nationally representative data from 1980 to 2012 suggest a doubling of the incidence and prevalence of diabetes during 1990-2008, and a plateauing between 2008 and 2012, however, there appear to be continued increases in the prevalence or incidence of diabetes among subgroups, including non-Hispanic black and Hispanic subpopulations and those with a high school education or less.

The objective was to update national trends in total diabetes (undiagnosed and diagnosed), prediabetes, and glycemic control in persons with diagnosed diabetes over the past 2 decades using data from the 19881994 (NHANES III) and 19992010 (continuous NHANES) survey periods based on calibrated HbA1c and fasting glucose levels.

Death rates among both U.S. men and women with diabetes declined substantially between 1997 and 2006, reducing the absolute difference between adults with and without diabetes, suggesting that diabetes prevalence is likely to rise in the future if diabetes incidence is not curtailed.

Obesity should be defined at lower thresholds in nonwhite populations to ensure that interventions are targeted equitably based on equivalent diabetes prevalence, and within the Asian population, a substantially lower obesity threshold should be applied to South Asian compared with Chinese groups.

During 1999–2010, U.S. prediabetes prevalence increased because of increases in A1C5.7 and IFG, and these prevalence changes were similar among the total population, across subgroups, and after controlling for covariates.

The National Health and Nutrition examination survey (NHANes) is a representative cross-sectional survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized Us population and although NHANes does not explicitly collect information on type 1 diabetes mellitus, the prevalence is estimated based on age of diabetes diagnosis, the age of insulin initiation, and current use of insulin.

At current diagnostic levels, more persons trigger on 2-h glucose than on FPG, but fewer of these persons have their diagnoses confirmed, and in individuals with FPG ≥126 mg/dl and HbA1c ≥6.5%, the confirmation rate was increased.
