The cost of Diabetes type 2 treatemnt. November 30, 2018

Diabetologia. "25-year study shows that incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing by more than 3 percent per year in Europe." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 28 November 2018. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128182132.htm>.
The study concentrated on diagnose of diabetes type 1 in children in Europe.It  is very special studies, and I am not fancy ether try to understand how they were conducted nether interpreter them. Be free to read and get all info you wish. My point is another.
      According to US Public Health Service in year between 1950 and 1965 there were 4.4 million diabetics, 1.6 million of them undiagnosed.
      In 1973 Report of thr National Diabetes Commission to the Congress there were 4,191,000 diabetics in America. 3,570,000 of them Caucasian and 622,000 of other race and ethnicity. Today according to American Diabetes Assosiation there are 30.3 million of Ameriicans with diabetes. It is 9.4% of all American population. 1.25 million are children and adults with diabetes type 1.
Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States in 2015 based on the 79,535 death certificates in which diabetes was listed as the underlying cause of death. In 2015, diabetes was mentioned as a cause of death in a total of 252,806 certificates. (ADA Statistic)
       More then 200,000 diabetics die of all cause only in 2015. Looks like no one really care, why all those Death happened. Obesity? Why not? According to ADA diabetes type 2, and this is leading cause of Death, whay is it? What is definition of this medical condition which leads to so high fatality? There is no definition which can be clear and understandable.
    In medical education diabetes type 2 presented that it is when body cannot use insulin properly. OK, I take it. What is the treatment for this condition if any? Oral medicine. Most effective is SU, type of medicine which force diabetic type 2 secret more insulin. ???? How this medicine can possible cure or treat diabetes type 2 if it is as it was said, when insulin used wrongly? There is no one way that SU can be used to treat diabetes type 2.
     SU is oral medicine which is cheap. To compare with Insulin which is very expensive. At the same time ADA published the cost of diabetes


  • $327 billion: Total costs of diagnosed diabetes in the United States in 2017
  • $237 billion for direct medical costs
  • $90 billion in reduced productivity
        It is not cost of insulin, it is all cost of direct medical spending, medical visits including. The cost of visit will be the same if MD Rx Insulin or SU. The amount of medical visits will be different. With insulin there is less and less medical visits, less complications. With SU for 10 years cost of diabetic treatment skyrocket.  There are amputations, heart surgeries, expensive cost of medicine for Asthma and Sleep Aphnea, medical supply to treat never healing wounds, and you add to list the rest.
       Now there is the question, what is more expensive, to treat diabetics of all types with Insulin or with all oral medicine which already developed and in the way to be pushed to market?
