The overall prevalence of diabetes in Hebei was 12.9% (13.1% in men and 12.8% in women), there was no sex specific difference in diabetes prevalence (P=0.09). The prevalence was higher in urban residents (16.2%) than that in rural residents (12.1%), the difference was significant (P<0.01). The prevalence of diabetes increased with age (P<0.01). The prevalence of impaired fasting glucose was 5.1%, the difference was significant between men and women and between rural area and urban area (P<0.01). The prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance was 10.4%. The difference of prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance in men and women and between rural area and urban area was not significant. The rates of awareness, treatment and control of diabetes were 50.7%, 46.3% and 37.5%, respectively.
