In 2022, the economic costs of diabetes in the United States continued to be a significant burden, with estimates reaching staggering figures. The direct medical costs associated with diabetes, including hospitalizations, medications, and physician visits, were substantial. Additionally, the indirect costs stemming from productivity losses and disability due to diabetes-related complications further intensified the economic impact. These costs underscore the urgent need for comprehensive strategies and public health initiatives to address diabetes prevention, management, and reduce the financial strain on individuals and the healthcare system.

Objective: This study updates previous estimates of the economic burden of diagnosed diabetes, with calculation of the health resource use and indirect costs attributable to diabetes in 2022.
Research Design and Methods: We combine the demographics of the U.S. population in 2022 with diabetes prevalence, from national survey data, epidemiological data, health care cost data, and economic data, into a Cost of Diabetes Economic Model to estimate the economic burden at the population and per capita levels. Health resource use and associated medical costs are analyzed by age, sex, race/ethnicity, comorbid condition, and health service category. Data sources include national surveys (2015–2020 or most recent available), Medicare standard analytic files (2020), and administrative claims data from 2018 to 2021 for a large commercially insured population in the U.S.
