Notes:
- The NDA does not hold comprehensive data on children with diabetes.
- Diabetes type is reported as ‘Type 1’ and ‘Type 2 and other’ within the NDA.
- Type 1’ includes where a person is recorded as having Type 1 diabetes in the NDA.
- ‘Type 2 and other’ includes where a person is recorded as having Type 2 diabetes, Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young, other or non-specified diabetes in the NDA.
- Figures are based on people who appear in the 2020/21 NDA who have a new diagnosis of diabetes in the relevant calendar year.
- Disclosure control has been applied to all figures, as per the NDA publication - all numbers are rounded to the nearest 5, unless the number is 1 to 7, in which case it is rounded to ‘5’.
