AIMS: Secular trends in diabetes prevalence vary globally. We compared the prevalence of diabetes in two surveys 15 years apart in rural Australia. METHOD: Two cross-sectional household surveys and clinics (biomedical assessments including oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs)) in 2001-2003 (Crossroads) and 2016-2018 (Crossroads-II). SETTING: Four rural Victorian towns. PARTICIPANTS: Residents of randomly selected households (Crossroads (n = 5258), Crossroads-II (n = 2649)) with nested clinic assessments for randomly selected participants (n = 1048 and 736 respectively). Response rate 61%. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-reported diagnosed diabetes, screening history, and diabetes defined by OGTT..
