To estimate the disease burden of type 2 diabetes in population in Zhejiang in 2013. According to the method in global burden of disease study (GBD) 2010, the related disability adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD) were calculated by using the incidence, prevalence and mortality data of type 2 diabetes in population in Zhejiang and DISMODⅡ.

The DALYs in old population was high, which peaked in age group 80-84 years (32.63 per 1000) with YLL/YLD of 0.62. The disease burden of type 2 diabetes was mainly caused by disability. The YLL of type 2 diabetes in Zhejiang was higher than the national average level.
