Diabetes

An estimated one million Australians aged 25 years and over have diabetes, although around half of these people are currently undiagnosed. 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 with the remaining 15% caused by the complications of being diabetic. Indigenous Australians are four time more likely to develop diabetes than non-indigenous Australians.

In 2009, more than $63 million will be expended by the NHMRC on 341 active research grants investigating the causes, effects and complications of diabetes. This is a 10% funding increase over 2008 funding.
