OK, as usual I can’t quite find just the studies I wanted in the limited amount of time I have btw meetings, but this is close:

- from NIH, Diabetes in America, 1995, Chapter 10 (you can download the PDF here): [https://www.niddk.nih.gov/about-niddk/strategic-plans-reports/Pages/diabetes-america-2nd-edition.aspx](https://www.niddk.nih.gov/about-niddk/strategic-plans-reports/Pages/diabetes-america-2nd-edition.aspx)  
“Mortality rates among IDDM patients remain high. For childhood-onset cases, data suggest that \>15% will die by age 40 years, at which time the annual mortality will be 20 times that seen in the general population.”
