Diabetes is an important contributor to global burden of disease. The number of people with diabetes has increased substantially since the first global estimates were published in 2000. Nevertheless, diabetes prevalence estimates are highly dependent on factors such as data sources and quality, method used to diagnose diabetes, diagnostic criteria, and modelling assumptions. This chapter includes a review of the development of the current diagnostic criteria for diabetes and considers classification systems for diabetes.
