Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes in Australia

In 2013, there were 2,323 new cases of type 1 diabetes in Australia, equating to 11 cases per 100,000 population. This rate has remained relatively stable between 2000 and 2013, fluctuating between 10 and 13 cases per 100,000 population each year. The incidence was higher for males than for females, and more than half of all new cases were in people aged under 18 years.

From 2001–2013, the rate of type 1 diabetes was lower in remote and very remote areas compared with other areas of Australia, with the Northern Territory having the lowest instance of all the states and territories.
