Diabetes Disease Management
and the Reductions of Hospitalizations and Overall Costs
The number of American adults treated for diabetes more than doubled between 1996 and 2007, rising from about 9 million to 19 million. Costs of treating diabetes increased from $18.5 billion to nearly $41 billion* during that time. Those numbers are expected to rise to over 44 million Americans and annual treatment costs of $336 billion**, nearly 8 times the 2007 level and 37 times the 1996 treatment costs.
