The objective of the Connecticut Diabetes Surveillance System (CDSS) is to provide timely and relevant information about diabetes and its complications in Connecticut, as well as related risk factor information. CDSS provides support to the Connecticut Diabetes Prevention and Control Program, a CDC-funded program within the Connecticut Department of Public Health. The links below provide current information regarding Connecticut deaths and hospitalizations due to diabetes and diabetes-related conditions, diabetes prevalence data, and related reports.
Diabetes hospitalization and emergency department (ED) visit annual rates are based on Connecticut Hospital Discharge Dataset and Connecticut annual population estimates. The following Excel workbooks include statistics for diabetes as the first diagnosis and diabetes as any diagnosis.
- Diabetes and diabetes-related nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations inpatient hospitalization counts and rates
- Diabetes ED counts and rates
- Diabetes inpatient and ED charges

Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) and Health Care Utilization Analysis Summary of an analysis using data from the Connecticut All Payers Claims Database (APCD) to examine healthcare utilization patterns (i.e., inpatient, outpatient, and emergency department visits and filling prescriptions) of commercially insured patients with diabetes prior to receiving DSMES and after receiving DSMES.
Diabetes Quality of Care and Maintenance in New England: Can Cross-State Collaboration Move Us Forward? (2018) This interstate analysis of Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data demonstrates that inadequate annual diabetes care among adults with diagnosed diabetes was endemic even in a relatively advantaged US census division, and traditional disparities (e.g., race/ethnicity, federal poverty level bracket) only partially explained patterns in diabetes maintenance activities.
