Comparison of the incidence of diabetes in United States and Indian youth: An international harmonization of youth diabetes registries.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Incidence of youth-onset diabetes in India has not been well described. Comparison of incidence, across diabetes registries, has the potential to inform hypotheses for risk factors.
