Key figures for 2016: More than 3.3 million people are receiving medication for diabetes in France, representing 5% of the population. Among those receiving medication for diabetes: 244 per 100,000 were hospitalized for a transmural myocardial infarction, or more than 8,100 people; 596 per 100,000 were hospitalized for a stroke, or more than 19,800 people; 805 per 100,000 were hospitalized for a foot ulcer, or more than 26,700 people; 255 per 100,000 were hospitalized for lower limb amputation, or more than 8,400 people; 133 per 100,000 were hospitalized for dialysis or a kidney transplant, or more than 4,400 people. The incidence rates of these complications remained stable over the 2010–2016 period, except for strokes and foot ulcers, whose frequency is increasing. Socioeconomic and regional disparities remain very pronounced, both in terms of diabetes prevalence and the occurrence of serious complications.
