Whatever question brought you here, it probably comes down to a number. How big is the market? How many patients are on this therapy? What share use this device?
Market Metrics was built to answer exactly that — quickly, reliably, and without commissioning custom research.
dQ&A Market Metrics is a detailed, continuously maintained map of the U.S. diabetes market. It provides population and percentage estimates across diabetes segments, therapies, devices, brands, and clinical measures — telling you exactly how many patients are in each segment, and what share they represent.
It is a weighted population model, grounded in large-scale primary data from dQ&A's proprietary patient panels and prescriber research. Every estimate is thoroughly researched, rigorously constructed, and defensible.
Market Metrics is delivered via a flexible self-service web portal, giving you direct access to current market size and market share data across whichever segment, therapy, or device matters to you.
Across these populations: All PWDs · All Type 1 · All Type 2 · T1 Adults · T1 Kids · T2 No Insulin · T2 Basal Only · T2 Intensive Insulin · T2 GLP-1 User · T2 No GLP-1
*Each of the over 800 estimates are available as both an absolute patient population figure and a percentage share of the relevant segment.
Market Metrics starts with core benchmarks for the U.S. diagnosed diabetes population drawn from CDC, NHANES, and NHIS, and corroborated with dQ&A's own research among people with diabetes and healthcare professionals.
We apply iterative proportional fitting to weight our patient panel — approximately n=6,000 people with diabetes surveyed every quarter — so it accurately represents the wider U.S. diabetes population. The panel is purposely deep and wide: overweighted in areas of clinical interest such as Type 1 diabetes, CGM users, and AID users, so we can create a detailed weighting with good statistics and be confident of our numbers.
Confidence intervals and model error are assessed for every estimate. If we are not confident in a number, we don't publish it.
Note also that the underlying data comes from real people. It is not synthetic.
