There has been a consistent increase in the annual number of deaths from chronic kidney disease due to type 1 diabetes in Europe from 2012 onwards. Male death rates increased more rapidly between 1990 and 2005 compared to that of females, with rates rising to over 0.45 deaths per 100,000 population in 2019. Female death rates also increased, though at a slower pace pre-2005, but accelerated after 2012, narrowing the gender gap.
