What is the U.S. Diabetes Index?
About the Index Friday, October 28th, 2011
The U.S. Diabetes Index (USDI) provides real-time information about diabetics, their care, and the trends that are shaping the diabetes market in the United States. The USDI is built to be the national index by which diabetes in America is measured. It consists of over 30,000 tables, maps, charts and graphs by market segment (a comprehensive selection of geographies segmented by race/ethnicity, age and gender) for the years 2000-2009. Additional years will be added as the underlying data becomes available.
The USDI is a comprehensive online tool that reports on the prevalence of prediabetes; prevalence of diabetes; the cost of the epidemic; clinical information about diabetics (such as aggregated HbA1c, eGFR, hypertensive, BMI, etc); the attitudes and opinions that are shaping how diabetics are coping with their disease; location of diabetes clinicians; and how variations in the utilization of diabetic products and services are impacting outcomes and costs – national, region, state, county, MSA, zip code, and congressional and state legislative districts, further segmented by race/ethnicity, age and gender, for the years 2000-2009.
