Incidence of Childhood Type 1 and Non-Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in a Diverse Population: The Chicago Childhood Diabetes Registry, 1994 to 2003

Abstract

Incidence of childhood diabetes increased between 1994-2003, driven primarily by nT1, suggesting a role for behavioral and/or environmental determinants of insulin resistance. These estimates are likely to be conservative, if nT1 cases were more apt to be missed.
