Diabetes affects around 2 million adults in Washington State:

  • About 444,000 people in Washington have diagnosed diabetes.

  • More than 162,000 people have undiagnosed diabetes.

  • About 1.4 million people have pre-diabetes.

Diabetes is a serious, common and costly disease. Yet, it is controllable and—for type 2 diabetes—preventable. People who have diabetes have blood glucose (blood sugar) that is too high. Learn more about diabetes.
