During a period of 12 months all diabetics treated with insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) were registered by collection of prescriptions on the island of Falster, Denmark, with 44,498 inhabitants. The overall prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 12.4 per 1,000 (553 diabetics). Insulin-treated diabetics comprised 231 persons (prevalence rate 5.2 per 1,000) and OHA-treated diabetics comprised 322 persons (prevalence rate 7.2 per 1,000). The prevalence of insulin-treated diabetes especially with an age less than 30 yr was significantly higher than the prevalence in 2 other areas in Denmark. 50% of the insulin-treated diabetics with an onset age greater than or equal to 30 yr were overweight in contrast to 6% of insulin-treated diabetics with an onset age less than 30 yr (p less than 0.01). Among OHA-treated diabetics, 65% were overweight.
在12个月的时间里，通过收集丹麦法尔斯特岛（有44,498名居民）上的处方，对所有接受胰岛素或口服降糖药（OHA）治疗的糖尿病患者进行了登记。糖尿病的总体患病率为每1000人中有12.4人（553名糖尿病患者）。接受胰岛素治疗的糖尿病患者有231人（患病率为每1000人中有5.2人），接受OHA治疗的糖尿病患者有322人（患病率为每1000人中有7.2人）。尤其是年龄小于30岁的接受胰岛素治疗的糖尿病患病率显著高于丹麦其他两个地区。与发病年龄小于30岁的胰岛素治疗糖尿病患者的6%相比，发病年龄大于或等于30岁的胰岛素治疗糖尿病患者中有50%超重（p<0.01）。在接受OHA治疗的糖尿病患者中，65%超重。
