Derived benchmark: about $1,847 per diagnosed person per year. This uses ADA Table 4: ($22,389 million insulin + $24,709 million non-insulin glucose-lowering medicine) ÷ 25.5 million diagnosed people. It is a national health-system spending average across all ages and diabetes types, not a patient bill, personal out-of-pocket amount or medication recommendation. Supplies are excluded.

What the calculation includes.

Monthly costs × 12. Medication, monitoring, appointments and other amounts are added first.

Inflation by year. Year 1 uses your entered amount. Later years use your selected annual rate.

One possible expense. If selected, surgery is added once in the occurrence year you enter.

Enter amounts for the selected perspective in one currency. The calculator does not convert currencies or infer medical events.

Diabetes-related costs can include conditions that affect the heart, kidneys and eyes. The ADA 2022 discussion names cardiovascular, renal and ophthalmic conditions as cost areas. A money total cannot predict your complications or whether surgery will occur. Read the ADA 2022 discussion
