Summary
Using data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC), this Statistical Brief provides estimates on the changes between 1996 and 2003 in the proportion and medical expenditures of adults in the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population who had at least one medical event for the treatment of diabetes. The 1996 expenditures have been inflated to 2003 dollars for comparisons of the average quantity of health care services delivered to adults being treated for diabetes during these years.
