Diabetes is Australia’s fastest growing chronic disease and is the sixth leading cause of death in Australia. Nearly 1,000,000 Australians are currently diagnosed with diabetes. For every person diagnosed, it is estimated that there is another who is not yet diagnosed.
Diabetes 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 2010, more than $71 million will be expended by the NHMRC on 348 active research grants investigating the causes, effects and complications of diabetes. This is a 12% funding increase over 2009 funding. In the ten years since 2001, more than $369 million has been invested in Diabetes research by the NHMRC.
