Material and methods: Data for 124 554 DM patients is contained in the DM register of Moscow region (MR) for 2004. Mortality is evaluated yearly.

Results: Mortality as result of T1D was 1.92, and of T2D – 41.82 people for 100 thousand population. Mortality among men surpasses mortality among women for T1D (2.11 men/1.76 women), whereas the opposite was observed for T2D (58.79 women/21.81 men). Life expectancy after a diagnosis of sugar diabetes is made is 16 years for T1D, and 10.72 years for T2D.

Leading cause of death for both types of DM is cardiovascular disease: 36.88% for T1D, 68.5% for T2D. 18% of patients with T1D and 1.9% for T2D died as result of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, absolute number of patients who died as result of CVD is much larger for T2D. Quite large percentage of deaths when there is T1D are deaths from comas (4%).

During the analysis of morbidity, higher indices were noted for T2D (3.1%) than for T1D (2.6%). Morbidity is bit higher among men than among women for both types of DM. The maximum morbidity for T2D is in older age group of 80 and over (7.64%), and lowest (under 0.59%) in 40–44 y.o. age group. Bit of increase in morbidity is noted in younger age group: 0.72% in 25 29 y.o. age group, 1.28% in 35–39 y.o. age group, and 2.35% in 30–34 y.o. age group.

Conclusion: Leading cause of death amoung diabetes patients is CVD. Maximum mortality figures for T1D come at the age of 55-59 y.o., and mortality figures for T2D grow in proportion to age of patients.
