1 Diabetes Brief What is Diabetes? Diabetes mellitus is a disease of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism in which the level of blood glucose, or blood sugar, is above normal. The disease occurs when the body is unable to produce or use insulin, a hormone that helps move glucose from the blood into other cells throughout the body. Untreated or uncontrolled diabetes can cause heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lowerextremity amputations, and can be fatal. Diabetes was the 7th leading cause of death for all ages in In 2010, approximately 26 million people in the United States had diabetes; nearly 7 million of whom were undiagnosed. 2 There are several types of diabetes 3 : Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas is completely unable to produce insulin. It occurs most often in children; in this autoimmune disease, the immune system destroys the insulin producing cells in the pancreas. People with this type of diabetes must take insulin daily. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 10% of all cases of diagnosed diabetes and is not preventable. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to remove glucose from the blood, or when the body does not use its insulin properly (such as cells becoming resistant). It can occur at all ages, and is often associated with obesity. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 95% of all cases of diabetes and is preventable. Gestational diabetes occurs only in pregnant women and usually resolves after pregnancy. Approximately 5 10% of women with gestational diabetes remain type II diabetics postpregnancy. Overall, women with gestational diabetes have a 35% to 60% chance of developing type II diabetes within years of their pregnancy. Pre diabetes occurs when glucose levels are elevated in the blood, but are not as high as someone who has diabetes. Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes Demographic Risk Factors Age Type 2 diabetes is associated with older age, although it is increasingly diagnosed in children and teens. 3 Family History Individuals with first degree relatives who are diabetic are at greater risk for developing diabetes. 3
2 Race/Ethnicity Hispanic or Latino Americans, American Indians, and some Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders are at particularly high risk for Type 2 diabetes. 3 Social and Behavioral Risk Factors Pre diabetes Having pre diabetes is associated with an increased risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. 3 Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity Individuals with a poor diet and lack of regular physical activity are at greater risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. 3 Overweight and Obesity People who are overweight and/or obese have a greater risk of developing diabetes. 3 Intermediate Outcomes Diabetes increases the risk of other diseases and is accompanied by complications beyond acute glucose elevation. Some of these include: Heart Disease Heart disease death rates for diabetic adults are 2 to 4 times higher than for nondiabetics. 4 Nearly two thirds of deaths among people with diabetes are due to heart disease and stroke. 1 Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) In 2009, more than half (57%) of diabetic American adults reported having high blood pressure. 5 High Cholesterol In 2009, more than half (58%) of diabetic American adults reported having high cholesterol. 5 Stroke In 2009, nearly 1 in 10 diabetic adults had ever had a stoke. 5 Eye Disease Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adult Americans aged years. 6 About 1 in 3 diabetics aged 40+ have diabetic retinopathy (changes in the blood vessels of the retina). 6 Periodontal Disease People with diabetes are twice as likely to have gum disease as those without diabetes. 5 Kidney Disease In 2007, diabetes accounted for 44% of new end stage renal disease cases in the United States. 5
3 Lower Extremity Conditions In 2009, there were over 820,000 hospital discharges due to a lower extremity condition among diabetics. 5 Infections Diabetics are more prone to infections such as influenza or pneumonia. 2 Pregnancy Complications Gestational diabetes can cause complications for the infant. 3 About 35% 60% of women who have had gestational diabetes develop Type 2 diabetes years later. 3 National Statistics and Disparities Statistics Percentage 10% 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% Prevalance of Adults Diagnosed with Diabetes % 6.3% 6.5% 6.7% 7.0% 7.4% 7.7% 7.9% 8.4% 8.8% % Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

9 Diabetes and Its Complications: Prevention for Individuals Control Blood Sugar Decreasing glucose levels decreases the risk of complications. Every 1% decrease in blood A1C levels (an indicator of blood sugar control) decreases the risk for eye, nerve and kidney diseases by 40%. 2 Blood sugar can be controlled by planning healthy meals, monitoring glucose levels frequently, and medication. Control Blood Pressure Controlling blood pressure can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 50% and can reduce the risk of neuropathy, kidney disease, and eye disease by one third. 2 Blood pressure can be controlled by self monitoring blood pressure levels, taking medications as recommended, managing stress, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise. Strive for a Healthy Weight Losing excess weight (even small weight losses can be beneficial). For people with pre diabetes, weight loss and regular exercise can reduce the onset of diabetes by more than 50% over a 3 year period. 2 Weight loss can be achieved by maintaining a healthy diet and getting regular exercise. Do Not Smoke Smoking raises blood pressure, which affects eye, kidney, and nerve disease. 2 Smoking damages and constricts the blood vessels. This damage can worsen foot ulcers and lead to blood vessel disease and leg and foot infections. Smokers with diabetes are more likely to get nerve damage and kidney disease. See a Doctor Regularly to Monitor: Changes in blood glucose over time. Kidney function. Detecting and treating early diabetic kidney disease can reduce a decline in kidney function by 30 70%. 2 Cholesterol & lipid levels. Care for Feet Diabetes can damage nerves and blood vessels, resulting in reduced circulation and sensation necessary to identify injuries and infections. This can be prevented by: Checking feet daily can help prevent the development of ulcers and possible amputation. Protecting feet by wearing socks and comfortable, well fitting shoes. Avoiding the cold to prevent frostbite. Comprehensive foot care programs can reduce amputation rates by 45 85%. 2 Get Regular Dental Exams Maintain good oral health. Brush and floss daily. Get Yearly Eye Exams for Cataracts, Diabetes Retinopathy and Glaucoma
10 Laser surgery and appropriate follow up care can reduce the risk of blindness by 50 60%. 2 People with proliferative retinopathy can reduce their risk of blindness with timely treatment and appropriate follow up care. Get Annual Influenza Vaccinations Diabetes can affect the immune system, slow healing, and lead to flu complications.
11 Prevention Tools for Public Health Professionals: Diabetes Critical Pathway There are many opportunities for public health professionals in the community to help reduce the risk of diabetes and to improve the health outcomes of individuals who already have the disease. To assist in community health efforts, a Diabetes Critical Pathway was developed. The Diabetes Critical Pathway is a tool to be used in health promotion and disease prevention efforts. Its purpose is to identify populations at greater risk for diabetes, and to identify prevention and early intervention opportunities. The Diabetes Critical Pathway displays a diagram of the major risk factors and intermediate outcomes or related diseases that have an impact on, or result from, diabetes. Risk factors are marked as non modifiable (black striped bars) such as race/ethnicity or gender and modifiable (solid colored bars) such as physical activity or high blood pressure. Beneath the risk factors diagram is a data grid describing the San Diego resident population in relation to selected elements of the pathway. The data grid is designed to assist in quick identification of opportunities for interventions that might have a high impact on a particular disease. The data represent all San Diegans, not only those with a particular disease. The left axis (bar) indicates the percent of the population with a known risk factor or intermediate outcome. The right axis (diamond) indicates the rate of a particular medical encounter within the population that is specified. The data are described fully in the complete version of the Critical Pathways. 7 In addition, the Community Health Statistics Unit website ( provides detailed demographic, health and facility data including maps of geographically formatted health data. Also available are links to other County data sources, state and national sites of interest. For further assistance with data or interpretation, please contact the Community Health Statistics Unit.
