The paper analyzes the prevalence and incidence of diabetes and its consequences in the population of Ukraine and the Chernivtsi region during the period of 2014-2016. We have generalized and analysed
the data taken from the report of the endocrinology service in the Chernivtsi region for the 2014-2016 as well as the data of statistical reports of the Medical statistics Centre in the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for the same period. The increase m die prevalence of diabetes in Ukraine is (-69.2%), the increase in the incidence and prevalence of diabetes for 2014- 2016 tends to be negative. This can be explained by underestimation of a large percentage of patients with diabetes, a large number of patients with undiagnosed or hidden diabetes, by poor quality of care and collection of statistical data. On the other hand, according to the Center for Health Statistics in the Ministry of Health of Ukraine the increase of prevalence of diabetes, calculated on the population of Ukraine for 2014- 2016. was -r 55.1%, the incidence rate of primary (identification) diabetes was + 59.2%, consequently, the incidence and prevalence rose almost 2 times, leading to disability, premature death and health care costs.
