In 1989 the authors founded in Prague a register of all diabetics and patients with IGT. The basic data on each patient are in a computer and are systematically supplemented. The mean age of the investigated diabetics is 68.8 years in women and 64.7 years in men. The prevalence of DM and IGT in Prague women is higher (4.8%) than in men (4.3%). Practically half the Prague group suffers from diabetes for less than 5 years and only 4.6% of the diabetics are on the records for more than 20 years. DM type 1 was manifested in 54.7% of the patients at an age under 29 years and the majority of type 2 diabetics in Prague are in the age bracket of 60 to 69 years. The incidence of DM in 1988 to 1990 remains equal and amounts to cca 5%.
