Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to estimate the annual direct medical costs of managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in hospitals and outpatient clinics in the Philippines, focusing on data from two tertiary hospitals in Metro Manila.
- - Researchers analyzed hospital records and conducted surveys with 50 physicians, finding that complications significantly increase the average annual treatment costs per patient (up to US$3226 at one hospital). Poor diabetes control also led to higher costs compared to those with good control.
- - The findings suggest that improving diabetes management could potentially reduce overall healthcare costs by minimizing complications, highlighting the economic burden of poor diabetes control.
