First-of-its-Kind National Report Reveals Estimated High Prevalence,and Heavy Cost of Type 2 Diabetes Complications in America

s. people with normal blood sugar levels is as follows:

    - Congestive heart failure occurs in 7.9 percent of people with diagnosed

      diabetes vs. 1.1 percent of people without diabetes


    - Heart attack occurs in 9.8 percent of people with diabetes vs. 1.8

      percent without diabetes


    - Coronary heart disease occurs in 9.1 percent of people with diabetes vs.

      2.1 percent without diabetes


    - Stroke occurs in 6.6 percent of people with diabetes vs. 1.8 percent

      without diabetes

In terms of microvascular complications, which relate to small blood vessels, the prevalence is as follows:

      without diabetes


    - Eye damage(2) occurs in 18.9 percent of people with diabetes (figures

      for eye damage in people without diabetes are not available in NHANES)
