Undiagnosed diabetes was defined as participants whose FPG level was 126 mg/dL or greater and reported that they had never been diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes that was considered treated and controlled referred to participants who received treatment with glucose-lowering medication and FPG < 130 mg/dL. The percentage of treated and controlled among all diabetes was the number of participants with diabetes and FPG < 130 mg/dL divided by the number of all participants with diabetes (combined known and unknown diabetes) and for those treated and controlled among treated was the number of participants with diabetes and FPG < 130 mg/dL divided by the number of participants who were aware of and treated for diabetes.
