New study provides revised complete estimates
that propose that the U.S. nationwide economic burden of pre-diabetes and
diabetes reach $218 billion in 2007. These estimates include $153 billion in
advanced medical costs and $65 billion in decreased productivity. The normal
annual cost per case is $2,864 for undiagnosed diabetes, $9,975 for diagnosed
diabetes ($9,677 for type 2 and $14,856 for type 1), and $443 for pre-diabetes
(these are medical costs only). For each American, in spite of diabetes status,
this trouble represents a cost of just about $700 per annum. These consequences
underscore the urgency of improved appreciative how avoidance and treatment
strategy may or may not help decrease costs.
