Incidence trends for childhood type 1 diabetes in Europe during 1989—2003 and predicted new cases 2005—20: a multicentre prospective registration stud
The Lancet
28th May 2009
It is already known that type 1 diabetes in children is on the rise. This paper quantifies this increase in incidence in 17 European countries over a 25-year period. The authors then use this data to estimate that by 2020, the incidence of diabetes could increase by 50% in children under 5-years and as much as 70% in children under 15-years meaning that many more children will need access to health care services - a useful point for health policy makers to note.
