Distinguishing the Economic Costs Associated with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

April 2009

Novo Nordisk

For Novo Nordisk, The Lewin Group estimated the economic costs of diagnosed type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus in the United States in 2007. Lewin analyzed medical claims  to estimate the proportion of diagnosed diabetes cases and excess medical costs by diabetes type. Indirect costs associated with T1DM and T2DM were estimated by using findings from the literature on diagnosed diabetes, as well as differences in health per case of T1DM and T2DM. This study builds on the Cost of Diabetes Model developed by Lewin for the American Diabetes Association to estimate the economic burden of diagnosed diabetes. The study is published in the journal Population Health Management.
