Goal: Through prevention programs, reduce the disease and economic burden of diabetes, and improve the quality of life for all persons who have or are at risk for diabetes
Introduction
Diabetes mellitus continues to increase in both new and total cases, not only in the United States but throughout the world1, 2 Because of the increase in the number of persons with diabetes and the earlier onset of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in many populations, concern is growing about the possibility of substantial increases in diabetes-related complications3 The increases in the number of persons with diabetes mellitus could potentially overwhelm existing health care systems Accordingly, the translation of emerging diabetes management research results into clinical practice needs to be expedited This strategy must be complemented by a greater emphasis on primary prevention of diabetes Opportunities to reduce the health and economic burden of diabetes during the course of the disease are primarily located at four transition points The first transition point is
primary prevention, which, when successful, stops the development of diabetes Screening/early diagnosis, when a patient moves from unrecognized to recognized diabetes, is the second transition point Access to care presents the third transition point when the receipt of diabetes-specific care commences Finally, improved quality of care moves from inadequate care to the standard of care Progress has been mixed for these four transition points in recent years Greater progress in each of these four transition points will be one of the most effective methods for ensuring further improvement in quality of life and elimination of disparities Quality of care, the fourth transition point, is improving4, 5 Because fewer people in the United States possess health insurance,6, 7 access to care for persons with diabetes mellitus is worsening8, 9 The second transition point, early diagnosis, is being supported by greater knowledge and efforts such as the Diabetes Detection Initiative,10 which combines public health strategies with health marketing and health communication techniques to improve risk assessment11 Finally, important scientific and economic evidence supports the critical nature of
primary prevention, the first transition point12, 13 Preventive behaviors–among persons with diabetes mellitus and their health providers–are increasing The degree to which preventive behaviors and both intermediate- and long-term outcomes have improved varies by objective14 Despite advances in care, several issues regarding continued progress must be addressed First, the majority of progress may have occurred with early adopters–that segment of a population that includes opinion leaders and experimenters who are critical to the spread of innovation Subsequent positive movement may require new strategies15

Modifications to Objectives and Subobjectives
The following discussion highlights the modifications, including changes, additions, and deletions, to this focus areas objectives and subobjectives as a result of the midcourse review As stated in Healthy People 2010: Most developmental objectives have a potential data source with a reasonable
expectation of data points by the year 2004 to facilitate setting 2010 targets in the mid-decade review Developmental objectives with no baseline at the midcourse will be dropped Accordingly, at the midcourse review some developmental objectives and subobjectives were deleted because they lacked a data source However, the US Department of Health and Human Services HHS and the agencies that serve as the leads for the Healthy People 2010 initiative will consider ways to ensure these public health issues retain prominence despite their current lack of data Two objectives–decrease the proportion of women with gestational diabetes 5-8 and reduce the frequency of foot ulcers in persons with diabetes 5-9–were deleted from Healthy People 2010 due to the lack of an adequate, nationally representative data source The developmental objective for annual urinary microalbumin measurements among adults with diabetes 5-11 became measurable The objective was changed to track adults in keeping with the data collected by the new data source, the US Renal Data System developed and maintained by the National Institutes of Health

Progress Toward Healthy People 2010 Targets
The following discussion
highlights objectives that met or exceeded their 2010 targets; moved toward the targets, demonstrated no change, or moved away from the targets; and those that lacked data to assess progress Progress is illustrated in the Progress Quotient bar chart see Figure 5-1, which displays the percent of targeted change achieved for objectives and subobjectives with sufficient data to assess progress All but 1 of the 15 objectives remaining at the time of the midcourse review were measurable Three objectives met or exceeded the targets, six moved toward targets, four moved away from targets, and one showed no movement Objectives that met or exceeded their targets Three objectives exceeded their targets: diabetesrelated deaths among persons with diabetes 5-6, cardiovascular deaths in persons with diabetes 5-7, and annual urinary microalbumin measurements in persons aged 65 years and older with diabetes 5-11 Regarding the objectives for diabetes-related deaths and diabetes-related cardiovascular deaths, progress reflected the increasing attention now paid to cardiovascular risk factors, including blood lipid levels, high blood pressure, aspirin use, and heart attack treatments among those with
diabetes A collaboration between the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and American Diabetes Association was initiated in June 2004 The collaboration creates a national commitment to the prevention and early detection of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes and reflects the increased emphasis on prevention of these diseases16

Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review

Objectives that moved toward their targets Six objectives moved toward their targets: diabetes education for persons aged 18 years and older 5-1, diagnosis of diabetes in persons aged 20 years and older 5-4, lower extremity amputations for persons with diabetes 5-10, hemoglobin A1c testing for persons aged 18 years and older with diabetes 5-12, annual dilated eye exams 5-13, and daily selfblood-glucose-monitoring 5-17 Several of these objectives fell under the transitional point of improved quality of care Individual and collective efforts of the public, private, academic, and professional communities contributed to this progress Along with academic and industry developments, the National Diabetes Quality Improvement Alliance Alliance, founded in 1997 as the Diabetes Quality Improvement
Project, worked toward influencing change The Alliance established a comprehensive set of national measures for assessing the quality of diabetes care, which have been incorporated into the Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set, the American Diabetes Association Provider Recognition Program, the American Medical Association Diabetes Measures Group, and the US Department of Veteran Affairs performance monitoring program Other programs working to improve the quality of diabetes care are longstanding and include the National Diabetes Education Program NDEP, the National High Blood Pressure Education Program, and the National Cholesterol Education Program17 Objectives that demonstrated no change Annual foot examinations in persons aged 18 years and older with diabetes 5-14 neither moved toward its target nor regressed from it Objectives that moved away from their targets Four objectives moved away from their targets: new cases of diabetes in persons aged 18 to 84 years 5-2, overall cases of diagnosed diabetes 5-3, diabetes-related deaths 5-5, and annual dental exams for people aged 2 years and older with diabetes 5-15 For new and overall cases of diabetes 5-2 and 5-3, the
movement away from the targets was a reflection of improved disease identification and diagnosis by health care providers, demographic changes,1 and greater obesity18 This trend will continue unless primary prevention programs can be widely implemented and companion efforts to improve care are sustained for persons already affected Factors associated with the decrease in yearly dental examinations 5-15 are not clear NDEP has specifically targeted dental care and dental professionals for better diabetes management19 Objectives that could not be assessed Tracking data were not available to measure progress for aspirin therapy in persons with diabetes 5-16 Additional data to assess the trend are anticipated by the end of the decade

Progress Toward Elimination of Health Disparities
The following discussion highlights progress toward the elimination of health disparities The disparities are illustrated in the Disparities Table see Figure 5-2, which displays information about disparities among select populations for which data were available for assessment Progress was made toward Healthy People 2010s two overarching goals to increase quality and years of healthy life and eliminate
health disparities In general, the white non-Hispanic population, females, and persons with higher education levels were identified as having the best group rates Exceptions, however, existed; for example, the Asian or Pacific Islander population had the best group rate for diabetes-related deaths among the general population 5-5, and the Hispanic population had the best group rate for cardiovascular deaths in persons with diabetes 5-7

Diabetes

Page 55

Large disparities exist in rates of diabetes The American Indian or Alaska Native populations number of overall cases of diabetes 5-3 was twice that observed in the white non-Hispanic population Persons with less than a high school education experienced twice the rate for new cases of diabetes 5-2 as did persons with at least some college Rates for new cases and overall cases of diabetes 5-2 and 5-3 among persons with disabilities were three times the rates among persons without disabilities The diabetes-related death rate 5-5 was more than twice as high in the black non-Hispanic population as in the Asian or Pacific Islander population Similarly, persons with less than a high school education and high school graduates experienced
diabetes-related death at more than twice the rate of persons with at least some college The rate for lower extremity amputation among males with diabetes was twice that observed among females with diabetes 5-10 Between 1997 and 2003, disparity in overall cases of diabetes 5-3 decreased between persons with a high school education or less and persons with at least some college best population Disparity also decreased between the Hispanic and the white non-Hispanic best populations However, between 1997 and 2003, each of these populations had an increase in new cases of diabetes Thus, the declines in disparity resulted because the best populations moved away from the target at a faster pace than the other populations Disparities among various populations were largely unchanged from baseline assessments A few positive trends were evident: disparities in receiving an annual dilated eye exam 5-13 and disparities between high school graduates and persons with at least some college decreased by 10 to 49 percentage points Diabetes-related deaths 5-5 showed a 10 to 49 percentage point decrease in the disparity gap between the American Indian or Alaska Native and the Asian or Pacific
Islander populations Finally, both the white non-Hispanic population and persons with less than a high school education had reductions in disparities for cardiovascular deaths related to diabetes 5-7 New cases of diabetes 5-3 demonstrated a 50 to 99 percentage point decrease in disparity between persons with less than a high school education and those with at least some college For the same objective 5-3, a 10 to 49 percentage point decrease occurred in the disparities between the Hispanic and white non-Hispanic populations and persons with a high school education and those with at least some college Of concern were increases in disparities tied to education The disparities for the proportion of persons diagnosed with diabetes 5-4 rather than total cases and the rate for diabetes-related deaths 5-5 increased among persons with a high school education and the best populations High school graduates also showed an increase in disparity from the best group in obtaining annual dental exams 5-15 Finally, the disparity in cardiovascular deaths in persons with diabetes 5-7 between the black nonHispanic and Hispanic best populations widened by 10 to 49 percentage points This result was
particularly alarming because of the greater rate for co-morbidities, like high blood pressure, among the black non-Hispanic population affected by diabetes mellitus

Opportunities and Challenges
Improvements in diabetes management are now being documented in health care settings on a national scale However, since aspects of diabetes management are not improving at similar rates, overall progress is slow Moreover, broader, systemic changes in US health care are needed for further improvement20 Individual efforts by health professionals and patients may have reached maximal impact21
Page 56 Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review

With an increasing rate for type 2 diabetes mellitus cases occurring throughout the world, including 70 percent of new cases of diabetes mellitus in developing countries,22 health system capacities face a challenge The gradual benefits that have occurred in the management of diabetes mellitus may be reversed as more people require care23 Yet, studies indicate that with modest behavioral changes, persons with prediabetes can reduce the likelihood of progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus by approximately 50 percent These efforts are cost effective since they
avoid the chronic care costs associated with the development of diabetes mellitus and thus save money over the long term13 Therefore, additional progress in this focus area will require commitment to primary prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus and improved diabetes management practices

Emerging Issues
Major challenges exist to both the public health and clinical implementation of lifestyle intervention for preventing type 2 diabetes For a serious commitment to primary prevention, four areas need to be addressed: identification of candidates for diabetes prevention, delivery of lifestyle interventions, economics, and ethics Although an estimated 54 million people have prediabetes in the United States, how best to identify persons at high risk for diabetes is not clear24 One approach is to identify candidates for primary prevention in the clinical care system at an opportunistic encounter that is, during a visit by patients to their health care providers for conditions unrelated to diabetes prevention Limitations to opportunistic screening exist because persons with limited or no access to health care will be overlooked Persons who have health insurance and persons who are more
likely to use the health care system will be preferentially identified Screening for diabetes outside of the opportunistic clinical setting raises the issues of how programs can ensure that persons with positive results are referred and receive the necessary clinical care and how patients will receive access to appropriate interventions if prediabetes or diabetes is diagnosed The responsibility of clinical followup is equally challenging At present, evidence is not clear whether lifestyle intervention from the Diabetes Prevention Program DPP can be delivered with similar efficacy through integration into health care systems or in the community Physicians may not have the means to deliver these interventions and may have little or no resources necessary to support them It is also unclear whether other practicing professionals will be able to match the success of the DPP interventionists who were trained in counseling on nutrition, exercise, and behavior modification22 Furthermore, it is not certain who will be responsible for the administration of lifestyle interventions, how quality will be assessed and ensured, or how these services will be covered Economic studies may help to
address these issues For example, the DPP included a prospective economic evaluation to address two issues about the interventions to prevent type 2 diabetes: the cost of interventions to prevent type 2 diabetes and whether these interventions are a good value According to the results, on balance, primary prevention is a good investment for health insurers and society25 While health insurers may be primarily responsible for reimbursement of the interventions direct medical costs, including the costs of delivering the interventions and the costs of treating adverse effects of the interventions, other sectors of society will be responsible for the patient-specific direct medical costs, including deductibles and copayments, direct nonmedical costs, and time off from work

Diabetes

Page 57

The ethical implications of translating diabetes prevention by lifestyle interventions into public health and clinical practice are complex and challenging According to results of the DPP, some experts assert that the health promotion activities and drug interventions should be widely applied because the results are obviously beneficial and without substantial adverse effect Diabetes prevention
science has evolved over the past two decades, with major breakthroughs in controlling complications and now in preventing the diseases onset Continuing efforts are needed as more Americans develop type 2 diabetes and spend increasing periods of time living with the complications of the disease

Objectives and Subobjectives for Focus Area 5: Diabetes
Goal: Through prevention programs, reduce the disease and economic burden of diabetes, and improve the quality of life for all persons who have or are at risk for diabetes As a result of the Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review, changes were made to the Healthy People 2010 objectives and subobjectives These changes are specific to the following situations:

Changes in the wording of an objective to more accurately describe what is being measured Changes to reflect a different data source or new science Changes resulting from the establishment of a baseline and a target that is, when a formerly developmental objective or subobjective became measurable Deletion of an objective or subobjective that lacked a data source Correction of errors and omissions in Healthy People 2010

Revised baselines and targets for measurable objectives and subobjectives do not fall into any of the above categories and, thus, are not considered a midcourse review change1 When changes were made to an objective, three sections are displayed: 1 In the Original Objective section, the objective as published in Healthy
People 2010 in 2000 is shown 2 In the Objective With Revisions section, strikethrough indicates text deleted, and underlining is used to show new text 3 In the Revised Objective section, the objective appears as revised as a result of the midcourse review Details of the objectives and subobjectives in this focus area, including any changes made at the midcourse, appear on the following pages
