- From 1999-2020, 203,068 AMI-related deaths occurred among individuals with diabetes in the U.S.
- Overall age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) was substantially higher in type 2 diabetes (4.5 per 100,000) than in type 1 diabetes (0.9 per 100,000).
- Mortality was consistently higher among males and in rural areas for both diabetes types.
- For type 2 diabetes, mortality was highest among Hispanic individuals and in the Western U.S., with West Virginia showing the highest state-level AAMR (7.9).
- For type 1 diabetes, mortality was highest among non-Hispanic individuals and in the Midwest, with Rhode Island reporting the highest state-level AAMR (1.8).
- The findings highlight marked disparities by sex, ethnicity, region, and urbanization, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive strategies.
