Standardised annual incidence rate of diabetes /100.000 population 0-14 years

The data shown above were collected by the EUCID project for the year 2005 (+/- 1 year). Standardization was carried out using the European Standard Population (IARC 1976). This makes data more comparable between countries of differing population age structure.

As indicated in the figure, the data may refer to diabetes type 1 only, type 1 and 2 specified or the two types together. For countries marked ‘#’ there were no or very few children with type 2 included. '*'(Germany) indicates that only data about type 1 are available.

Data originated from 2 different sources:

• The clinical databases covered the national population of the country or complete regions;
• The admistrative databases were either driven by drug use or insurance data.
