Abstract
Diabetes affects an estimated 16 million Americans. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of known diabetes among active duty soldiers by reviewing medications dispensed for diabetes at a large military installation. This study was conducted from July 31, 1997, through August 1, 1998. Fifty-eight (0.18%) members of the total active duty male population of 32,593 had been dispensed diabetes medications, whereas 43 (0.48%) members of the total female active duty population of 8,898 had been dispensed medications for diabetes. Gestational diabetes was the cause for 88.37% of the total active duty females dispensed diabetic medication at Fort Hood, Texas. The female-to-male ratio for diabetes was 2.7:1. Diabetics made up 0.27% of the total population.
