Has Type 1 diabetes increased over the last 100 years?


Can someone show me a graph or web page that shows the incidence of Type 1 diabetes over the last century, or even the last 50 years? I'm interested in knowing whether it has increased, decreased, or neither.

Thanks.

Yes, type 1 diabetes has increased. Originally people with it would have died but know we can treat it and people can live with it. That means they can reproduce and pass on the genes that code for diabetes. Here's a graph:

One reason it has increased is that many people 100 years ago, had no idea what was wrong. Most people did not have access to a doctor and simply died.Those deaths were never counted.
Now that many of us see a doctor on a regular basis, I'll bet most disease have gone up simply by being treated.
