There are currently 918,218 people in Australia diagnosed with some form of Diabetes, according to The National Diabetes Services Scheme (an initiative of the Australia Government, administered by Diabetes Australia).
The NDSS has just released an Australian Diabetes Map, searchable by state, electorate or post code, which shows the numbers of people diagnosed with diabetes in all parts of Australia including information on age, gender and type of diabetes. Type 2 is the most common form of the disease, women are slightly more likely to suffer from Diabetes than men, and the most prevalent age group is 60-69.
