There is a growing pandemic of diabetes mellitus, with high treatment costs. In Croatia 1/5 of total health expenditures is spent on treatment of diabetes and its complications. There is a limited knowledge about economic efficiency of different treatment modalities for DM. Are there studies on lifestyle changes in relation with costs ?
There are a few studies which have directly correlated lifestyle management effect and cost. There is linear effect on reduction of cost of therapy if the patient today to the lifestyle. I think we will get a lot of articles in Diabetlogia
