Economic impact of diabetes
• In addition, the cost of looking after people in nursing homes, in their own homes and support such as transport and appliances should be added. These social costs may very well be even greater than all the other costs combined and are a direct consequence of the complications and disabilities resulting from mismanaged diabetes. In Denmark, they are estimated to be four times higher than the healthcare cost associated with diabetes4.
