Abstract
In recent years, the increasing interest of diabetologists towards the epidemiology of IDDM has resulted in the worldwide institution of population-based registries. Incidence data are now available in many geographic areas, as part of either the EURODIAB1 or DIAMOND Projects,2 showing striking variation in the distribution of the disease. Particularly in Italy, a 4-fold difference between Northern Italy and Sardinia has been recently observed.1
