An Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report into diabetes shows that in the 16 years to 2005 the proportion of people diagnosed with the disease more than doubled.
Diabetes also caused or contributed to more than 10 per cent of deaths in Australia in 2005.
“It’s likely that a substantial number of cases of diabetes go undiagnosed,” said report author Lynelle Moon.
One expert estimated as many as 1.4 million Australians could be affected. Source
