Diabetic Medications
While Diabetes is ranked as the sixth leading cause of death among Americans, it's estimated that for every death for which diabetes is listed as the cause, there are five more for which it's a contributing factor.
People with diabetes incur medical costs that are two to three times higher than those without diabetes. A person with diabetes can face direct costs for medication and supplies ranging from $1,000 to $15,000 a year. The personal costs of diabetes may include a reduced quality of life and the increased likelihood of complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, amputation and erectile dysfunction.
The prevalence of Diabetes is on a steady increase throughout the US and other countries worldwide, with corresponding increases in treatment costs.
