There have been few reports of follow-up studies on mortality and causes of death from diabetics in Japan. One group of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) was followed up in Osaka and the other group in Tokyo. Results from both studies were almost the same in which diabetic nephropathy and coronary heart disease were important as the causes of death. Because of a small number of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) follow-up studies are difficult in Japan, and only one study was reported from the Diabetes Epidemiology Research International (DERI) Mortality Study Group. Although a very large mortality of IDDM in Japan was reported in this study, this is now improving rapidly.
关于日本糖尿病患者死亡率及死因的随访研究报告较少。一组非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（NIDDM）患者在大阪接受随访，另一组在东京。两项研究结果几乎相同，其中糖尿病肾病和冠心病是重要死因。由于日本胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（IDDM）患者数量较少，随访研究存在困难，糖尿病流行病学国际研究（DERI）死亡率研究组仅报告了一项研究。尽管该研究报告称日本IDDM的死亡率很高，但目前这一情况正在迅速改善。
