AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Based on claims-data of 5.43 million members of a large 
      German statutory health insurance fund in 2008 (Techniker Krankenkasse), the aim 
      of this contribution is to update and more precisely quantify age- and 
      gender-specific prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a 
      German setting. METHODS: A patient was classified as T2DM prevalent if he or she 
      had received at least two outpatient diagnoses of T2DM in two different quarters 
      of the year and/or had received at least one T2DM diagnosis during inpatient 
      treatment between 01/01/2006 and 12/31/2008. A patient was considered to have had 
      new onset T2DM in 2008 under one of three conditions: 1. no diagnosis of T2DM in 
      2006 and 2007, 2. no presripction of oral antidiabetics in 2006 and 2007, 3. 
      either one inpatient or two outpatient diagnoses of T2DM conducted in two 
      different quarters of 2008 or one outpatient T2DM diagnosis in 2006/07 when the 
      second diagnosis was made in 2008. RESULTS: A total of 254,524 patients had T2DM. 
      Compared to the total membership of the medical insurance fund, the prevalence of 
      T2DM was 4.69 %. The average age was 64.8 years, and 66.37 % were male. The 
      incidence of T2DM in our sample was 2.814 cases per 1,000 person-years in men and 
      1.690 cases in 1,000 person-years in women. Based on our sample and on official 
      population data, 4,704,585 patients (5.75 %) in Germany would be T2DM prevalent 
      in 2009. The number of incident T2DM cases would amount to 215,746 patients 
      (0.264 %). CONCLUSIONS: T2DM is one of the most common chronic diseases in 
      Germany. The expected demographic changes in Germany will increase the burden on 
      the German health system caused by T2DM.
