The report shows that people with diabetes who have had annual diabetes checks regularly in the preceding seven years have a mortality rate which is half the rate of those who have not.
The report was published in 2 parts. Part 2a of the report covers mortality and complications up until March 2016, and found that for people with diabetes, the risk of death was increased at all ages, in both men and women, compared to the general population. Younger people are at greater relative risk of premature death than older people.
Part 2b of the report also contains the numbers of people being admitted to hospital for a range of conditions associated with diabetes.
A total of 29.2 per cent of all emergency and non-emergency hospital admissions for cardiovascular conditions were for people with diabetes.
Vascular outcomes also accounted for a higher proportion of deaths among people with diabetes.
