Diabetes among young Australians

Diabetes Among Young Australians  has just been published by the AIHW and is the first report from the National Centre for Monitoring Diabetes to examine the management and impact of diabetes in youth in Australia.  In 2010 about 31,300 Australians aged 0-30 years with diabetes were registered with the National Diabetes Service Scheme.  79% of them had Type 1 diabetes.  The report looks at how young people are managing this condition, how they use health services and the diabetes-related health problems they experience.
