TL;DR
Estimates of the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (UDM) using available data from high quality representative population-based sources suggest there is a high proportion of UDM globally, and especially in developing countries.
Abstract
There is a high proportion of UDM globally, and especially in developing countries. Further high-quality studies of UDM are needed to strengthen future estimates.
