Note: Self-reported high cholesterol is defined by using the survey question, "Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse or other health professional that your blood cholesterol is high?"

The numbers of diabetes-attributable cases by age groups do not add up to totals because in some states the numbers for some age groups are not reported due to data unreliability, and thus these numbers by age groups may be underestimated.
