This study aimed to identify the spatial and temporal distribution of the prevalence of diabetes and its treatment rate at the district level in Korea, and suggest public health approach for diabetes management in the community. Data was collected from Community Health Statistics of Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2012 to 2021, and analyzed by spatial statistical techniques including spatial dependence analysis and hotspot analysis. The results pointed out that there was a spatial dependence in the prevalence of diabetes at the district level, but there was little spatial dependence in the diabetes treatment rate by spatial autocorrelation analysis. It was confirmed that Gangwon-do was the most urgent region needed to manage the prevalence of diabetes based on hotspot analysis. The presented results suggest that effective interventions for diabetes can be achieved by collaborative efforts between neighboring districts with high diabetes prevalence, whereas, it is important to consider the characteristics of the individual district as for diabetes treatment.
