Type 2 diabetes, just like in most of the developed countries, is an important challenge of the public health sector in Hungary as well. The costs of diabetes vary in a wide range in the protocols of treatment, prevention and care depending on the type and character of the disease.
The costs of the disease are mainly borne by two actors in the structure of the Hungarian health care system: the patient and the state. The volume of costs depend in a great extent on the phase of the disease in which the patient finds herself.
So far, the research in the field – defining the costs of type 2 diabetes – mainly aimed at costs incurred at the level of the health care system.
This study defines the structure and value of the costs in the different phases of the disease in a way that it will be comprehensible for the patients as well. The analysis has been based on data collected directly from patients by both qualitative and quantitative surveys.
