Does the surveillance system include estimates of gestational diabetes?
No. We estimate the number and percent of the United States population with diagnosed diabetes by using data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The number of women with gestational diabetes is excluded from the diabetes surveillance estimates. For estimates of gestational diabetes in the United States refer to the website Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
