Change to inclusion of drug prescription and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) data for Wales
In the Interactive data visualisation published on 16 June 2022 Wales drug prescription data was not included in the diabetes diagnosis validation process. In v2.0 of the visualisation this data has been included resulting in a larger cohort used for the analysis, particularly for Wales. For further details on the diagnosis validation process see main report.
In addition, v2.0 no longer includes analysis on DKA hospital inpatient admissions for Wales. This is because it was only possible to obtain data NHS hospital admission data from hospitals in England and therefore any DKA hospital inpatient admission results for Wales would not have been representative of diabetes care in Wales.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) Hospital Inpatient Admissions
- The percentage of adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes who had a least 1 hospital admission with a diagnosis of DKA* increased with age between the ages of 15 and 18 years, from 5.2% and peaking at 9.1%. After 18 years old this percentage steadily decreased with age.
- The majority of those who had at least 1 admission with a DKA diagnosis had only 1 admission. Although multiple admissions also peaked at age 18 years.
* Where an episode of DKA occurred at any time during the hospital admission. Admissions that start in the same year of diabetes diagnosis are excluded.
** From the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, people with pre-existing type 1 diabetes, particularly those aged up to 39 years, were found less likely to present with DKA (Misra et al. The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2021 Oct; 9(10): 671-680 - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(21)00208-4/fulltext)
*** Percentages in figure 12 may not sum up to percentages in figure 11 due to data suppression. See Additional Information for more details.
