Hi raggedyrush - 


You might get started here:
 Survival of Incident Adult Patients
http://www.renalreg.com/Report%202001/C09%20Newsurvive2h.htm#_Toc4477056

where it states that

" ... for diabetics when compared with non-diabetics, the hazard ratio
is the ratio of the estimated hazards for diabetics relative to
non-diabetics, where the hazard is the risk of dying at time t given
that the individual has survived until this time." 

Good luck,

Alanna-ga
