About the T1D Index - global type 1 diabetes estimates, partners and methods
About the T1D Index
The T1D Index is a simulation model of type 1 diabetes in every country in the world. It answers questions that surveillance data alone cannot: how many people are living with T1D, how many were never diagnosed, and how many years of life are lost to the condition where care is hardest to reach.
Estimates are peer-reviewed and published openly, and every figure on this site traces back to a paper you can read. This site is the public interface to those estimates â explore them by country, region and age, ask questions in plain language, or download the underlying data.

Peer-reviewed methods
Every release is documented in a peer-reviewed publication, with the full model appendix available to read alongside the data.
Every country covered
Estimates are produced for all countries, including those without registries, so global comparisons are not limited to places that already collect the data.
Versioned releases
Each version stays downloadable after it is superseded, so published analyses remain reproducible and changes between releases can be traced.
Contact & Corrections
Found a bug, or data that looks wrong?
Corrections from people who know their own country's data are one of the main ways the Index improves. Tell us what you saw and where, and we will look into it.
