National Diabetes Barometer

The National Diabetes Barometer is a three-part initiative designed to evaluate the current state of diabetes in the United States in three critical areas: societal, economic and clinical.

NCDP is working with its member association partners and independent researchers to evaluate the impact of diabetes on our society and measure our nation's response to the disease. The results of the three barometers will show a snapshot of the current status of diabetes in the United States, and serve as a benchmark for NCDP and the larger diabetes community to measure future progress.

  • Societal Barometer

    The Societal Barometer is based on a national public opinion poll conducted by The Gallup Organization for NCDP. The poll measures public perceptions and attitudes about diabetes in the United States. Click here to view or download the full report.

  • Economic Barometer

    The Economic Barometer will use two different research studies to explore how the cost burden of diabetes is distributed in the United States, including the role of health care providers, public and private insurers and individuals.

    Creating Financing Change
    The first part of the research, conducted by the Lewin Group, will help show the difference between the costs of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and estimate the cost burden of undiagnosed diabetes, pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes.

    The second part, conducted by Abt Associates, will survey the experiences of health care providers to identify gaps and missed opportunities in physician reimbursement for diabetes care.

  • Clinical Barometer
    The Clinical Barometer will assess current diabetes care measurement efforts in the U.S., identify any existing gaps in these efforts and recommend improvements.

NCDP will release the findings to all three Barometers in 2008, and compile them together in the future as a comprehensive National Diabetes Barometer.
