How much does diabetes cost the NHS?
Diabetes is a major financial burden on the NHS, costing an estimated £10 billion a year since 2012, with around 80% of this going towards managing complications, such as kidney disease. This makes research into risk factors and prevention vital for both patient health and healthcare sustainability.
