Description:

CDC scientists have identified a diabetes belt located mostly in the southern portion of the United States.1 The diabetes belt consists of 644 counties in 15 states.

People who live in the diabetes belt are more likely to have type 2 diabetes than people who live in other parts of the United States. People who do not already have diabetes can reduce their risk by being physically active and, if they are overweight, losing weight. Obesity and inactivity account for nearly a third of the increased risk for type 2 diabetes that scientists noticed in people living in the diabetes belt.
