According to the Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Basic Health Survey) 2018 the prevalence of diabetes in people older than 15 years in Indonesia is 2%. This estimated prevalence is based on the existence of clinical diagnosis. However, a blood test-based diagnosis suggested a higher proportion (10.9%) (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia, 2018).
