Economics of insulin.

چکیده
The UKPDS group has concluded that cost of intensive blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes is largely offset by signifi cantly reduced costs of complications and the increased time free of complications. Intensive therapy would cost an additional £1,435 per patient (£140 per year) giving a total additional annual cost of £14,000-27,000. The cost would be offset by a saving of £10,000-18,000 on treating complication.
