7. Public Health and Economic Impact: A Cause for Action Population incidence for diabetes grows 5.5% per year without behavior-change interventions Currently high-risk or undiagnosed populations develop late-stage complications before detection Diagnosed patients experience poor diabetes management due to lack of human and intellectual capital Specialty Care Burden Preventable conditions develop into high-cost and complex burdens on primary-tertiary health systems High-Cost Medical Treatment Growth in high-cost treatments for amputations, blindness, renal failure, and co-morbidities such as CVD Lack of Population Productivity Diabetes caused 6.8% of all deaths in 2010 and will increase 5.5-12% per year in some regions Prevalence 438 M People Global Spend $561 billion Source: IDF World Diabetes Atlas – Economic Impacts of Diabetes Health systems lack capacity and processes to treat chronic conditions (acute-focused) Governments lack effective programs and policies to prevent increased incidence and severity of diabetes Public Health Impact Economic Impact
