Economic impact of diabetes
Diabetes is one of the costliest health problems in the world. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that the direct annual healthcare cost of diabetes in 2007 globally for people aged 20–79 is 232–422 billion US dollars. If the predicted increase in diabetes is borne out, the cost will by 2025 increase to 303–559 billion dollars1.
