Since 1988, diabetes in Missouri increased by almost 50%. We examined diabetes' prevalence and associations with sociodemographic, risk factor, and comorbidity variables in Missouri. Additionally, we examined Missouri's progress towards Healthy People 2010 diabetes-related goals and prevalence of risk factor counseling. Analysis indicates diabetes is an increasing public health problem in Missouri. To stem increases in the prevalence of diabetes and its costs, delivery of, and access to, preventative care and counseling should be improved.
