    Diabetes prevalence in iNature China rose from less than 1% in the 1980s to nearly 11% in 2013
    .

    In 2013, China reported the largest number of people with diabetes and ranked second in global spending on diabetes and its complications
    .

    To date, no nationally representative study with a consistent study design has comprehensively investigated trends in the prevalence, treatment, and risk factors of diabetes in China
    .

    On December 28, 2021, Wu Jing from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Wang Youfa from Xi'an Jiaotong University published a research paper titled "Prevalence and Treatment of Diabetes in China, 2013-2018" online in the top international medical journal JAMA (IF=56).
    , the study collected cross-sectional nationally representative survey data of adults 18 years or older in mainland China from 170,287 participants in 2013-2014 and 173,642 participants in 2018-2019
    .

    Fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels were measured in all participants
    .

    A 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test was administered to all participants without a diagnosis of diabetes
    .

    The primary outcome was diabetes and prediabetes as defined by American Diabetes Association criteria
    .

    Secondary outcomes were awareness, treatment and control of diabetes and prevalence of risk factors
    .

    In 2013, the median age was 55.
    8 years (IQR, 46.
    4-65.
    2 years), and the weighted proportion of women was 50.
    0%; in 2018, the median age was 51.
    3 years (IQR, 42.
    1-61.
    6 years), and the weighted proportion of women was 49.
    5%
    .

    The estimated prevalence of diabetes increased from 10.
    9% (95% CI, 10.
    4%-11.
    5%) in 2013 to 12.
    4% (95% CI, 11.
    8%-13.
    0%) in 2018 (P < .
    001)
    .

    The estimated prevalence of prediabetes was 35.
    7% (95% CI, 34.
    2%-37.
    3%) in 2013 and 38.
    1% (95% CI, 36.
    4%-39.
    7%) in 2018 (P = .
    07)
    .

    In 2018, among adults with diabetes, 36.
    7% (95% CI, 34.
    7%-38.
    6%) reported being aware of their condition and 32.
    9% (95% CI, 30.
    9%-34.
    8%) reported being on treatment; 50.
    1% (95%) % CI, 47.
    5%-52.
    6%) treated patients were adequately controlled, and these rates did not change significantly from 2013
    .

    The prevalence of low physical activity, high intake of red meat, and overweight and obesity increased significantly from 2013 to 2018
    .

    In conclusion, in this survey study, the estimated prevalence of diabetes was high and increased from 2013 to 2018, and the estimated prevalence of adequate treatment did not improve significantly
    .

    Prevention and control of non-communicable diseases are public health priorities worldwide
    .

    However, data show a steady rise in the incidence of non-communicable diseases, especially obesity and diabetes, in many countries
    .

    The prevalence of diabetes in China rose from less than 1% in the 1980s to nearly 11% in 2013
    .

    In 2013, China reported the largest number of people with diabetes and ranked second in global spending on diabetes and its complications
    .

    In addition, the prediabetic patient population represents a large number of patients at risk for diabetes
    .

    Previous studies have shown that diabetes awareness, treatment, and control rates are lower in China compared to the United States
    .

    Previous national surveillance data described the prevalence and treatment of diabetes in China in 2013
    .

    Another survey report estimated that the prevalence of diabetes was 11.
    2% in 2015 and the prevalence of prediabetes was 35.
    2%
    .

    The prevalence, awareness, and treatment of diabetes vary among populations
    .

    Socioeconomic and behavioral factors (eg, diet, smoking) may be responsible for this change
    .

    Behavioral factors are important variables in diabetes prevention and management
    .

    China has launched a public health campaign to promote healthy behaviors, including tobacco control, healthy eating and physical activity
    .

    To date, no nationally representative study with a consistent study design has comprehensively investigated trends in the prevalence, treatment, and risk factors of diabetes in China
    .

    The study collected cross-sectional nationally representative survey data of adults 18 years or older in mainland China from 170,287 participants in 2013-2014 and 173,642 participants in 2018-2019
