The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what the incidence is of (a) type 1 and (b) type 2 diabetes and what comparable information it has for (i) the United Kingdom as a whole, (ii) each EU member state and (iii) each OECD nation.
The answer
The Scottish DiabetesSurvey draws on data from primary and secondary care and currently represents themost comprehensive source of information on diabetes at Scotland level. The most recent report (2005) includes informationon the prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, nationally and at NHS board level.The report is available at:
http://www.diabetesinscotland.org/diabetes/MaintainPages/pdfFiles/SDS2005.pdf.
The Scottish PublicHealth Observatory (ScotPHO) website provides links to international sources ofinformation on diabetes, most commonly prevalence. Note however that variationsin the source of data and completeness of recording make these comparisons unreliable.These links can be accessed at http://www.scotpho.org.uk/web/site/home/Healthwell-beinganddisease/Diabetes/diabetes_usefullinks.asp.
International comparisonsof diabetes prevalence have been usefully reviewed by Wild et al (Wild S, Roglic G, Green A, Sicree R, King H. Global prevalenceof diabetes: estimates for the year 2000 and projections for 2030. Diabetes Care2004; 27:1047-53).
