Figure 1.

The top panel depicts age- and sex-standardized incidence rates (SIRs) among patients with incident type 2 diabetes with 95% confidence intervals by year of diagnosis. Similarly, the middle panel shows SIRs by age categories. The bottom panel shows the incidence rate stratified by baseline HbA_1c measurement at time of first treatment among type 2 diabetes patients living in Northern Denmark at time of diagnosis. Incidence trends in this regional setting are similar to those on a national level.
