| Data Source: 2010 Michigan Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Bureau of Epidemiology, Division of Genomics, Perinatal Health and Chronic Disease Epidemiology, Michigan Department of Community Health. Methods and Limitations: The Michigan Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (MI BRFSS) comprises annual, state-level telephone surveys of the non-institutionalized adult population, 18 years and older. The MI BRFSS provides self-reported information on behavioral risk factors for disease and on preventive health practices within the state. The data are limited by potential recall bias and may be under- or over- reported. Validity of self-reported glucose testing has not been measured. Prediabetes Awareness Indicator: Respondents were considered to have prediabetes if they answered "yes" to the question "Has a doctor ever told you that you have prediabetes?" or "no, prediabetes or borderline" to the question "Has a doctor ever told you that you have diabetes?" Since self-reported prediabetes is low compared to estimates from laboratory data, this measure is considered a gauge of disease awareness. |
| There is no state surveillance of prediabetes. The best information available is from a national study, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). NHANES uses mobile labs to collect blood specimens for fasting blood glucose tests; therefore, the prediabetes prevalence estimates encompass both diagnosed and undiagnosed cases. Nationally, only 7.3% of people were aware of their prediabetes status (Geiss et al. Am J of Prev Med, April 2010). The prevalence rates published in the public domain are reprinted here (in abbreviated format). For more information on national estimates of prediabetes prevalence, please see the full publication: Cowie CC, Rust KF, Ford ES, Eberhardt MS, Byrd-Holt DD, Li C, Williams DE, Gregg EW, Bainbridge KE, Saydah SH, Geiss LS.
