Evaluation of the Cascade of Diabetes Care in the United States, 2005-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Treatment advances in diabetes can meaningfully improve outcomes only if they effectively reach the populations at risk.

Objectives

To evaluate whether the cascade of US diabetes care, defined as diabetes diagnosis, linkage to care, and achievement of individual and combined treatment targets, improved from 2005 to 2016 and to investigate potential disparities in US diabetes care.

Design, setting, and participants

Nationally representative, serial cross-sectional studies included in the 2005-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were evaluated. Data on nonpregnant US adults (age ≥18 years) with diabetes who had reported fasting for 9 or more hours (n = 1742 diagnosed and 746 undiagnosed) were included. Data analysis was performed from August
