In the Western world, including the Netherlands, more and more people are getting diabetes. It is estimated that in 10 years another half million people will get diabetes in the Netherlands, resulting in approximately 1.3 million Dutch people with diabetes by 2025.
Fifteen years ago, diabetes rarely occurred in children under five years of age, but that has changed in the last ten years. Patients are getting younger and younger. In addition, the number of new cases of diabetes Type 1 under young people of Moroccan ancestry is 1.5 times higher than with young people of Dutch ancestry.
