Over 500 fold difference in type one diabetes rates in children !

When you have an interest in diabetes, and have read articles over the years, it’s rare to find  really stunning information. There are 88 countries that collect information regarding type one diabetes in children. I find the difference between countries staggering. For instance, Venezuela ranked at number 88 has 0.1 cases per 100,000 of population. Finland ranked at number 1 has 57.6 per 100,000 of population. The UK ranked at number 5 at 24.5 per 100,000. 

I think you will agree, an amazing difference between countries.
