The cost of diabetes treatment varies from time to time, from region to region, from knowledge level to knowledge level, and from financial condition to financial condition. How much should be spent depends more on the level of awareness of diabetes among diabetic friends and family members.

I have seen patients with a first diagnosis of diabetes who were hospitalized several times for repeated examinations and also went to major hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai to seek treatment from well-known specialists. The annual cost may reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. But for the same condition, some diabetic friends may be able to control their blood glucose in a more ideal range just by diet and exercise treatment. And spend a lot less than the previous diet.

Some of our diabetic friends are not in a good financial situation and choose cheaper medications that can be taken more often per day to keep their blood sugar under control, while some more demanding patients want to use their medications weekly or even monthly, so the weekly preparations they choose may cost a few thousand dollars.

In a specific patient, when the disease is first diagnosed, diet and exercise therapy coupled with a simple regimen will result in a smoother blood sugar, which will cost less.

As an example, a first diagnosis of diabetes friends, blood sugar in 10 or so, then oral metformin drug can be lowered blood sugar, the monthly cost of treatment is about 15-30 dollars. But if this patient for obese body type, there is a very obvious glucose and fat metabolism disorder, need to be as soon as possible to weight, blood sugar control down, then will choose the exenatide or liraglutide treatment, so that the monthly treatment cost will cost up to 2,000 dollars.

As the disease progresses and various complications appear gradually, the money will also increase. At the time of the initial diagnosis, it may cost a few tens of dollars a month, and when complications arise, or even to the state of various organ failures, a few hundred dollars a day is also possible.

If various complications of diabetes develop, which may also require hospitalization, dialysis, surgery and other treatments several times a year, then the yearly cost can be significant.

Early prevention is very important to minimize costs, and with complications, money will definitely be spent and quality of life will be reduced.

The $2,000 was spent on food.

Is it enough to spend $2,000 a month to get your diabetes under control? Is it reasonable? Spend 2,000 dollars a month enough to see how people spend, maybe some people still feel not enough, some people do not need, not enough to spend people may go to buy some more expensive health products to control diabetes, this is not worth it can not control the effect of blood glucose, if you spend in this area is not reasonable. In fact, you want to control blood sugar do not have to spend much money, because controlling blood sugar you have to keep your mouth open legs, snacks less meals also eat less, but more money. I think a good way to control blood sugar, is a reasonable control of good diet, adhere to walk every day, the control of the medication to take medicine, so that you can control the blood sugar is relatively stable.

It's covered by health insurance. I eat soba noodles every day and my blood sugar control is satisfactory.
