Diabetes in Arizona: The 2018 Burden Report

May 23, 2018

Diabetes is inextricably tied to obesity and physical inactivity. More than one in four (29.0%) Arizona adults surveyed in 2016 were obese, similar to the national median (29.0%) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS, 2016). Type 2 diabetes has more than doubled in the last ten years; close to 600,000 adults now have diabetes in Arizona. In 2011, 9.5% of Arizona adults reported that they had diabetes; in 2016, it had jumped to 10.8%. Even more alarming is the growing epidemic of individuals with pre-diabetes, a condition in which your body does not respond properly to insulin resulting in higher than normal blood sugar.
