Summary
While extensive work has been done to determine and document the increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes worldwide, comparatively less attention has focused on the prevalence of type 1 diabetes, especially in the developing world. The prevalence has been studied by various methods, including surveys, national or central registries, school records and hospital records, in various age groups [1]. It varies from 0.09 per 1000 in China, to 0.83-2.23 in Scandinavia and 3.40 in United Kingdom [1]. Incidence studies are available from many countries and reveal rates ranging from 36.5/100,000 in Finland and 36.6/100,000 in Sardinia (Italy) [2] to 0.1-4.6/ 100,000 in China and 0.4/100,000 in Thailand [3,4]. This paper reviews the prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus in Karnal, a district in Haryana state, northern India.
