The incidence of T1DM in this population over the period 1987 - 2002 inclusive was 35.93 per 100,000 per year. The incidence over this period increased linearly at the rate of 1.25 per 100,000 per year. -- Conclusion: The Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland has one of the highest incidences of T1DM reported worldwide.
