Diabetes Australia - snapshots and interactive map

Diabetes Australia has release two useful new tools on its National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) website:

Diabetes "key facts and figures" summarise the growth in the prevalence of all types of diabetes in Australia. Over a million Australians are now registered with the scheme and here you can find statistics for each type of diabetes by age group.
 
The interactive geospatial map is a new tool which highlights the continuing growth of the epidemic, showing which communities in Australia are most affected. It combines Australian Census population data with the latest NDSS data to reflect actual diabetes prevalence at a national, state, electorate, local government area and postcode level for all types of diabetes.
