Question: I would like to know the number of children in the U.S. who currently are diagnosed with IDDM. I would also like to know the number of children that are diagnosed each year. This information is important for some research I am conducting. Answer: The following statistics about diabetes in the United States are from the Centers for Disease Control Web Site: Prevalence of Diabetes in the United States Total (diagnosed and undiagnosed): 16 million (1995 estimate) Diagnosed: 8 million Undiagnosed: 8 million Insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM): Estimates range up to 800,000 (No national registry for diabetes exists. These estimates are extrapolated from several regional registries). Noninsulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM): About 7 to 7.5 million diagnosed cases (1993 estimate) Prevalence by Population Groups Number of persons diagnosed with diabetes (1993 estimates) Women: 4.2 million Men: 3.6 million Children aged 19 years or younger: About 100,000 Adults aged 65 years or older: 3.2 million Incidence Total new cases diagnosed every day: About 1,700 (1990-1992 averaged) Total new cases diagnosed every year: 625,000 (1990-1992 averaged) NIDDM: About 595,000 new cases per year IDDM: About 30,000 new cases per year JSH Original posting 27 Apr 96
