The figure shows the percentage of adults aged ≥18 years who ever received a diagnosis of diabetes, by race/ethnicity and Hispanic subpopulation, in the United States in 2009, according to the National Health Interview Survey. During 2009, non-Hispanic black adults (13.2%) were almost twice as likely as non-Hispanic white adults (7.7%) to have been told by a doctor or other health professional that they had diabetes. The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes also was higher among Hispanic adults (12.3%) than among non-Hispanic white adults. Among Hispanic subpopulations, Mexican adults (13.8%) and Puerto Rican adults (16.7%) were more likely to have been told by a doctor or other health professional that they had diabetes compared with Central or South American adults (7.3%).

* Respondents were asked if they had ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that they had diabetes or sugar diabetes (female respondents were instructed to exclude pregnancy-related diabetes). Responses from persons who said they had 'borderline' diabetes were treated as unknown with respect to diabetes. Unknowns were not included in the denominators when calculating percentages.

† Persons of Hispanic origin might be of any race or combination of races.

§ Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population. Estimates are age adjusted using the projected 2000 U.S. standard population as the standard population and using four age groups: 18--44 years, 45--64 years, 65--74 years, and ≥75 years.
