[OC] Prozentsatz der Erwachsenen mit diagnostiziertem Diabetes nach US-Bundesstaat (2022)

Colorado beat Mass for once.

Is it states that use more lard and crisco shortening in their cooking? Or just poorer where they eat more processed garbage?

I bet it’s because of sweet tea and beer.

I would love to see this pattern by county and next to a map of poverty rate by county next to it. Like, are rich white people in the south getting diabetes just to spite black people? Or are there just that many poor people in those states that it drags down the averages?

These type of color coded maps almost always look the same. Same states always in the bad shade of whatever color they are using….

From the CDC FAQ:

“The surveys and databases used by the U.S. Diabetes Surveillance System do not currently distinguish between types of diabetes. Therefore, our estimates include data on all types of diabetes. Because type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90% to 95% of the cases of diagnosed diabetes in adults, trends in type 2 diabetes are likely to be similar to trends documented by the surveillance system. However, because type 1 diabetes accounts for approximately 5% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes among adults, trends documented in the surveillance system may not reflect trends in type 1 diabetes.”

Thank goodness for Texas holding back the south from spreading to the west and north west.
