This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate due to diabetes (ICD-10 codes E10-E14) as an underlying or contributing cause of death.
Why is this important?
Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States and in Hawaii. Diabetes complications, which are costly to individuals, families and to society, include premature death, cardiovascular disease, blindness, end stage kidney disease, and lower extremity amputations. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and stroke; about 65% of deaths in people with diabetes nationwide are due to these conditions. Costs of diabetes extend beyond medical costs, such as costs due to lower productivity, disability and loss of productive life due to premature death, and care-taking by family members. Improvements are necessary at the individual, health system and societal levels to reverse the increasing rates of diabetes in our communities.
