From 1990 to 2012, rates of diabetes have more than doubled
84.9% of these people diagnosed had Type 2
Rates of diabetes are higher in males and increase with age
Type 1 diabetes is uncommon in the ATSI population
Type 2 diabetes has a very high prevalence among the ATSI population, with rates almost 3 times higher than non-ATSI people.
Approximately 12 Australians with diabetes undergo amputations everyday (4400 in total in 2016)
4.2% of the population was diagnosed with diabetes in 2012
Determinants

Income
Lower incomes are associated with:
lower rates of physical activity,
higher rates of overweight and obesity.
Poorer nutritional choices
Higher rates of alcohol consumption
Education
Lack of education on risk factors and warning signs increase chance of developing diabetes
Environmental
Geographical location
An environment that promotes healthy lifestyle choices will decrease the likelihood
Urban development (high rise buildings / apartments etc) can limit physical activity options
Access to labor saving technologies and fast food make people less active
Access to health services
Lack of GP and hospitals could mean late or no diagnosis
