The Burden Toolkit consists of three sections: (1) diabetes health burden, (2) diabetes economic burden, and (3) diabetes mortality. Estimates reported in the Burden Toolkit are for adults only and exclude children younger than age 18. Estimates are reported for type 1 and type 2 diabetes combined because of data limitations. This technical report was developed by RTI International under contract number 200-2013- M-53964B from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The section of the report on direct medical costs was developed by the Lewin Group, Inc., under subcontract number 1- 312-0213618-51951L with RTI International.
