Estimates of diabetes prevalence in Australia

The AIHW has just released Diabetes prevalence in Australia: detailed estimates, presenting the most up-to-date assessment of the number of people with diagnosed diabetes in Australia based on self-reports to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' 2007-08 National Health Survey.

The number of people with diabetes is presented by diabetes type, age, sex, state of usual residence and remoteness. In those years an estimated 898,800 Australians had been diagnosed with diabetes (excluding gestational diabetes) at some time in their lives.
