Diabetes affects the health of many Australians - an estimated one million Australians have the disease and these numbers are expected to increase dramatically over the coming decades. National Diabetes Register: statistical profile, December 2001 is the second statistical report of the National Diabetes Register. It describes the characteristics of registrants, including type of diabetes, age at diagnosis, sex, geographical location, country of birth, Indigenous status, mortality and also provides incidence estimates. This report is a valuable information resource for researchers, policy makers, health professionals and anyone interested in diabetes in Australia.
