Diabetes Statistics for Trinidad & Tobago

I my last blog post I wrote about diabetes in Trinidad & Tobago and tried to go a little in-depth into the history of diabetes in Trinidad & Tobago. I recently contacted the cso.gov.tt requesting information on diabetes; someone contacted me and was kind enough to send me a document with data from 2011 containing statistical information about diabetes in Trinidad & Tobago.

The document contained data about diabetes broken down by region, gender, and individuals who have and didn’t have diabetes. I decided to extract a portion of the information and format it so that I could make it available online.

Below you will find statistics on diabetes for each region of Trinidad & Tobago.

Update: This data can also be viewed on a diabetes heatmap of Trinidad & Tobago.
