New Report! Testing for High Blood Sugar, New York State Adults, 2022

The New York State Department of Health is pleased to announce the release of a new report based on data from the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an annual statewide telephone survey of adults developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and administered by the New York State Department of Health. 

The brief report “Testing for High Blood Sugar, New York State Adults, 2022” presents data and information on the percentage of adults tested for high blood sugar in the past year. In New York State, approximately two-thirds (66.7%) of adults reported being tested for high blood sugar. 

Younger adults ages 18-24 and adults without health insurance coverage are less likely to report getting tested for high blood sugar. Adults who have not seen their doctor for a routine checkup in the past year (23.6%) and those who do not have a personal health care provider (40.5%) are also less likely to report getting tested. Adults with prediabetes (87.6%), history of cardiovascular disease (85.7%), or hypertension (82.6%) are more likely to report having been tested for high blood sugar than adults without those conditions. 

The American Diabetes Association recommends blood sugar (glucose) testing to screen for prediabetes type 2 diabetes for all adults beginning at age 35 years and for younger adults with overweight or obesity who also have one or more risk factors such as hypertension, elevated blood cholesterol or family history of type 2 diabetes. Health care providers are encouraged to recommend participation in a National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change programs for their adult patients with prediabetes, and diabetes self-management education and support programs for their adult patients with diabetes. 

This Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Brief has been approved for public release. Please feel free to share this report and its data with others involved in initiatives to prevent and control diabetes among adults in New York State. 

Additional Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Briefs and other reports on chronic disease indicators are available on the New York State Department of Health Public Website:
