Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses financial impact of diabetes treatment on patients, indicating high out-of-pocket costs.

Key Points

  • Approximately half of diabetes patients spent about one-fifth of their income on treatment in India, indicating a significant financial burden.
  • Of 15,158 patients surveyed, 98.9% had type 2 diabetes, with urban males incurring higher treatment costs, showing socioeconomic disparities.
  • Analysis was conducted through a hospital-based cross-sectional study, utilizing a standardized data entry form for consistent data collection.
  • This finding highlights substantial financial strains on patients, suggesting that diabetes treatment policies need to be re-evaluated for affordability.
