New Zealand reports a rise in diabetes cases to 323,700, with projections of 510,000 by 2040.

New Zealand's Virtual Diabetes Register reports a rise in diabetes cases to 323,700, an increase of 95,700 over three years. Projections suggest this could reach 510,000 by 2040, significantly higher than previous estimates. Heather Verry, Chief Executive of Diabetes New Zealand, calls for clearer data, as the current figures do not distinguish between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. During Diabetes Action Month in November, initiatives include a myth-busting series and a risk quiz.
