Economic Costs Attributed to Diagnosed Diabetes in Each U.S. State and the District of Columbia: 2021
Authors' conclusion
State economic costs of diagnosed diabetes are substantial and increased over the last decade. These costs and their growth vary considerably across states. These findings may help state policymakers in developing evidenced-based public health interventions in their respective states to prevent and control the prevalence of diabetes.
