Dutch diabetes prevalence estimates (DUDE‐1)

The results show that the previous estimate (reported in 2009), which was based on data collected in 2007, resulted in a <2% (~16 000) overestimation in diabetes prevalence in 2013 compared with the analysis presented. These results indicate that no upward adjustment in Dutch diabetes prevalence estimates is necessary. Repeated large-scale monitoring can help develop more accurate prevalence estimates and improve future prevalence predictions.
