• More than half the people with type 2 diabetes are unaware they have diabetes, which is costing society millions of dollars in treating the many serious complications that arise from undiagnosed or poorly treated diabetes

Economic impact of diabetes

• In high-income countries, about 7% of the healthcare expenditure for diabetes goes to treating elevated blood sugar, 21% is spent on medicines to treat other symptoms, 18% is spent on ambulatory care like routine visits to GPs and 55% is consumed by hospitalisations for complications6.

In wealthy countries like the United States, insured persons with diabetes pay 10–15% of their medical costs themselves, while 20% of people with diabetes have no government or private health insurance coverage.

Economic impact of diabetes

• WHO estimates that diabetes, stroke and heart disease together will cost about 555.7 billion US dollars (433 billion euros) in lost national income in China over the next 10 years, 303.2 billion dollars (236 billion euros) in the Russian Federation, 336.6 billion dollars (263 billion euros) in India and 49.2 billion dollars (38 billion euros) in Brazil. These estimates are based on lost productivity, resulting primarily from premature death.

• Even in high-income countries where diabetes treatment is given high priority, these costs remain exorbitant. In Europe the hospitalization cost for patients with both micro- and macrovascular complications is 5.5 times higher than the cost for patients with no complications5.

Economic impact of diabetes

• The suffering and loss of quality of life that people with diabetes experience due to the fact that diabetes strikes at the very heart of human quality of life: the ability to live a full and productive life cannot be measured in economic terms; however it is an important socioeconomic impact. It impacts people’s lives through fear of what the disease does or may do to their lives. Humans as well as societies pay a high price as the ticking bomb is costing society millions in treating the many serious complications that arise from undiagnosed and poorly treated 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.

• There are also indirect costs to be taken into account: lost productivity due to the inability to work, sickness, absence, disability, premature retirement or premature death. They are harder to estimate, but can be even more significant than the direct medical costs. For example, combining the cost estimates for 25 Latin American countries suggests that costs of lost production due to diabetes problems may be as much as five times the direct healthcare cost of diabetes treatment3. Families, too, suffer loss of earnings as a result of diabetes and its consequences.

Economic impact of diabetes

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), direct healthcare costs of diabetes-related illnesses range from 2.5% to 15% of a country’s annual healthcare budget, depending on local diabetes prevalence and the sophistication of treatment available. If the predictions hold true, this will increase from 7–13% and up to 40% in high-prevalence countries2.

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.

Summary

Diabetes imposes a large economic burden on the national healthcare system. Healthcare expenditures on diabetes will account for 11.6% of the total healthcare expenditure in the world in 2010. About 95% of the countries covered in this report will spend 5% or more, and about 80% of the countries will spend between 5% and 13% of their total healthcare dollars on diabetes.

Global health expenditures to prevent and treat diabetes and its complications will total at least US dollar (USD) 376 billion in 2010.

By 2030, this number will exceed some USD490 billion. Expressed in International Dollars (ID), which correct for differences in purchasing power, the global expenditures on diabetes will be at least ID418 billion in 2010, and at least ID561 billion in 2030. An average of USD703 (ID878) per person will be spent on diabetes in 2010 globally.

Expenditures spent on diabetes care are not evenly distributed across age and gender groups. More than three-quarters of the global expenditure in 2010 will be used for persons who are between 50 and 80 years of age. Also, more money is expected to be spent on diabetes care for women than for men.

There is a large disparity in healthcare spending on diabetes between regions and countries. More than 80% of the global expenditures on diabetes are made in the world’s economically richest countries, not in the low- and middle-income countries where 80% of people with diabetes will soon live. The North American and Caribbean Region will spend USD214 billion, or 57% of the global total on diabetes in 2010. In contrast, the African Region will spend, in total, USD1.4 billion for diabetes, or 0.4% of the global total.

One country, the United States of America (USA), will spend USD198 billion, or 52.7% of global expenditure. India, the country with the largest population of people living with diabetes, will spend an estimated USD2.8 billion, or less than 1% of the global total. An average of USD 7,383 per person with diabetes will be spent on diabetes-related care in the USA but less than USD10 per person will be spent in Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire and Myanmar.
