Insulin-treated diabetes report

The AIHW has today released the report: Insulin-treated diabetes in Australia 2000-2007 which presents the latest available data from Australia's National Diabetes Register. It demonstrates that the incidence of Type 1 and other insulin-treated diabetes in Australia is increasing and people with insulin-treated diabetes have significantly higher death rates than other Australians. The report aims to explain the changing patterns of insulin-treated diabetes, who the disease affects and where people with insulin-treated diabetes reside in Australia.
