In the context of a large and growing burden of diabetes-related morbidity and missed opportunities to employ evidence-based care and prevention, the World Health Organization (WHO) has initiated the Global Diabetes Compact to prioritize evidence-based interventions, resources, and objective-setting to reduce the global burden of diabetes. In this report we describe the scientific basis that informed the recommendations of the key health objectives and target levels for the Compact. We considered metrics across 4 domains (structural, system- or policy-level factors; processes of care; biomarkers and behaviours; and health events and outcomes) and risk tiers (diagnosed diabetes, high risk, or whole population). An expert group reviewed and prioritized metrics according to their health importance, modifiability, data availability, and the degree to which they represent gaps and areas of global inequality. We reviewed global distributions of levels for each metric of interest to set target levels for future attainment. This process led to 5 country-level core metrics and target levels for UN member states: 1) at least 80% of the persons with diabetes should be diagnosed; 2) 80% of those with diagnosed diabetes having HbA1c levels below 8.0%; 3) 80% with diagnosed diabetes having blood pressure levels below 140/90 mmHg; 4) 60% with diagnosed diabetes using statins, and, 5) 100% of persons with type 1 diabetes having continuous access to insulin, blood glucose meters andtest strips. In addition, we propose several complementary metrics that currently have limited global coverage but warrant surveillance scale-up. These include, among persons with diabetes, documentation and routine collection of all-cause and cause-specific mortality estimates, and incidence of end-stage kidney disease, lower-extremity amputations, and incidence of diabetes. We also identified important areas for which the development of metrics is still required, including primary prevention of diabetes and integrated care. Achieving the overarching goals of the Global Diabetes Compact will require multi-sectoral efforts applied to individuals, health systems, policies, and country-level actions.
