Diabetes Spending $101.4 billion in 2013. December 29, 2016

Americans spent $2.1 trillion in 2013 on diagnosis and treatment of health problems, which amounts to more than 17 percent of the total U.S. economy, the researchers concluded from their analysis of federal data. http://ift.tt/2iIYzry
Interesting, why with so high spending there are so many millions of not diagnosed diabetics? It is easy to diagnose early and start treatment early so dangerous complications of diabetes would not be developed, right? Wrong. If there is no diabetes type 2 then who will pay $101.4 billion to Medical Organization? I always said, follow money when try to find The True.
 Ischemic heart disease -- $88.1 billion.
Testing is expensive.  What is after doctor find clots in blood? LOL. It is life style modifications, antidepressant if one take it would be changed to another name, and statin, Atrovastatin replace Simvastatin, then because of both do not work it would be Provastatin, and then return to first line of treatment. All generics. Till heart stop to push the blood. Not every doctor Rx Nitrostat, and if so then not every one health care plan pay for Nitrostat. Usually I pay $20, and plan pay less then $5. Nitrostat will prevent heart attack, Who need it? Not medical care. Then healthy person then less paid medical care providers. As I said, follow money.
Low back and neck pain -- $87.6 billion.
This is another point of interest. Where these money go? As a stroke survivor and one who live in constant pain, low back and neck specific, my treatment is only generic Gabapentin 300 mg two times daily. When pain is too severe  and I cannot move my head I take Gabapentine 3 times. Back pain bend, I am almost not able to move. No any help from any medical provider, no wheelchar, no home aid, no medicaid, no SSI. Only Gabapentine 300 mg two times daily. Generic.
Why it is so important what treatment do I have? Because of I am one of millions of diabetics who live in this pain, and there is nothing for us. So, these $87.6 billions go to whom? Not to us, diabetics type 2.
High blood pressure -- $83.9 billion.
Why blood pressure is so expensive?  It is only generic medicine, mostly diuretic,  and there is even no doctor attention. OK, I got it. Because of there is diuretics as most cost effective medicine to reduce high blood pressure it leads to heart attacks,  stroke, hospitalization, ER visits. Personally I do not remember when last time I was in ER since Insulin is in my fridge. As soon as Insulin supply is over, I am active ER visitor. So solve the problem stop Barking and Junk Therapy and start to treat diabetics type 2 with insulin, Lantus Solo Star is my loved one. That's right, what about profit? Who collect all that $853.9 billion? Not diabetics or other patients.
Skin-related problems -- $55.7 billion.
Newer healing wounds. Insulin. Rx insulin to diabetics type 2. No amputations, no wound care, who need it? Diabetics type 2? No. We are good without any wounds. We do need insulin, but we cannot use insulin without medical care. So, our medical organization do know it very well, and there is no insulin for diabetics type 2, only cost effective Metformin, $4 a month and Pancreas killing SU, also generic. Then it is time to harvest fruits.
U.S. spending on diabetes diagnosis and treatment totaled $101 billion in 2013, and has grown 36 times faster than spending on heart disease, the country's No. 1 cause of death, researchers reported.
Really interesting statement. To spend money on diagnostic and diagnose diabetes is far away from being the same. First things first, diabetes type 2 , what is it?  According to ADA (really how they let it happen?) diabetes type 2 is
Type 1 diabetes (due to b-cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin
deficiency)
Type 2 diabetes (due to a progressive loss of insulin secretion on the background
of insulin resistance)
So, if diabetes type 2 is progressive loss of insulin secretion then this must be the target of diagnose, the level of insulin in blood. Still, ADA recommend to diagnose diabetes according to the level of fasting blood sugar.  So why it is so surprise that there are tests after tests, but no right treatment? Look at all treatment available for Diabetics type 2. It is all 'glucose lowering agents'. Where agents which will increase insulin secretion? Invokana? No. Invocana is Diuretic for blood sugar, and road for sex organs infection. SU? No, SU force ill pancreas to work harder and secret insulin when there is no need in this activity. Remember, SU must be taken two times daily, at eve it will be second time. So, insulin secretion starts at the time when diabetic go to bed. SU increase activity, lead to lost ability to fall asleep. What else? Metformin. Metformin increase sensitivity of muscles  to insulin, so there are nothing to increase insulin secretion but to increase demand to insulin, already in limited availability.
This is a little True about diagnose and treatment for Diabetics type 2. Oh, yes, there is one more point. Because of the money to develop Invokana and other medicine the same family is already spent, these money must carry on profit. But medicine does not work, do not prove blood sugar  control. Then what developers do? They suggest that if Invokana does not prove blood sugar control it prevent heart attacks and strokes. More studies. More diabetics treated with medicine which does not prove blood sugar and push victims deeper into hell. But studies prove, invokana or any other medicine work to prevent heart attacks and strokes. One who is interesting can easy to find the prove of my statement. Simple take a look at the Medical Publications and Studies and see how many different diabetes type 2 medicine treat or prevent all what is possible to treat, cancer or heart, lungs, or heir loss. You name it, diabetes type 2 medicine treat all at once and separately. As You Wish.
