Prediabetes Data

84.1 million adults in the United States have prediabetes. According to the 2017 BRFSS survey, an estimated 74,621 adults, or 7.2% of the adult Iowan population have prediabetes. If left untreated, 15-30% of these people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within the next five years.
