Diabetes

As the sixth leading cause of death in Australia, diabetes is responsible for a significant personal and economic burden. It was responsible for 5.5% of the total burden of disease and injury in Australia in 2003. 85% of the diabetes burden was due to the disease itself and the remaining 15% caused by the complications of being diabetic. More than one million Australians are diabetic and Indigenous Australians are four time more likely to develop diabetes than non-indigenous Australians.

In 2008, more than $57 million will be expended by the NHMRC on 332 research grants investigating the causes, effects and complications of diabetes.
