Sources and methods for prevalence estimates of diabetes mellitus

Notes:
*The national prevalence indicates the percentage of each country’s population that has diabetes, and is used for assessing the burden of diabetes for each country; comparative prevalence is adjusted to the age profile of the world population and is used for comparisons between countries.
