The National Diabetes Registry (NDR) of Sweden collects data on children and adults with diabetes in Sweden. The diabetes diagnoses recorded are Type 1 diabetes including LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults), Type 2 diabetes, and other specified diabetes. The Diabetes Register was created in 1996 by the Swedish Association for Diabetes to collect data on people over 18 years of age with diabetes.
Since 2015, the register receives reports from all 21 counties and all 42 pediatric clinics, all 87 specialist clinics, as well as the majority of primary care clinics (1,251 units in 2024). Hence, 100% of specialist clinics and over 90% of primary health care centres participate. Approximately 6% of Swedes have diabetes, but the prevalence presumably varies from one county to another due to differences in age distribution and socioeconomic factors. In Sweden, Type 2 represents approximately 90% of all diabetes.
