TL;DR

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.
