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 with the state. About one-third of people with diabetes do not know they have it, and therefore cannot self-report it. As a result of this, we assume that the MI BRFSS underestimates the true prevalence of diabetes.

Diabetes Indicator: Respondents were considered to have diabetes if they responded "yes" to the question, "Has a doctor ever told you that you have diabetes?" Women who indicated that they only had diabetes during pregnancy were not considered to have diabetes. Where feasible and to improve the precision of the estimates, 3-year averages were used to estimate the prevalence of preventive care practices.
