<\/a>Yesterday the Journal of the American Medical Association published an article entitled Incidence of Diabetes in Youth in the United States<\/a>. From the JAMA press release<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Non-Hispanic white youth have the highest rate of diabetes of all racial\/ethnic groups for children in the U.S., with type 1 being the predominant kind of diabetes among youth, according to a study in the June 27 issue of JAMA<\/em>, a theme issue on chronic diseases of children.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

For children age 0 to 4 years and 5 to 9 years, most DM was type 1, regardless of race\/ethnicity. The incidence of type 1 DM was highest among non-Hispanic white children, and lowest among American Indian and Asian-Pacific Islander children. Similarly, for older youth (10-14 years and 15-19 years), the incidence of type 1 DM was highest among non-Hispanic white children, followed by African American and Hispanic youth.<\/p>\n

“…taken together [with other studies], these data suggest that the incidence of type 1 DM may be increasing in the United States, consistent with worldwide trends,” the authors write. “We estimate that the annual number of newly diagnosed youth with type 1 DM in the United States is approximately 15,000.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The National Center\u00a0for Health\u00a0Statistics does not track the prevalence of\u00a0Type 1 diabetes and it does not track the\u00a0prevalence of diabetes in persons\u00a0under 18 years of age. Links to our data on adult diabetes can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our mortality data, publicly accessible via CDC’s WONDER database<\/a>, provides the following death totals from diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, for persons aged 19 and under:<\/p>\n
