• 3 billion Annual estimated cost of diabetes
  in Arizona
• 13,243 Medical expenditures per capita, per
  annum for people with diabetes

  annum for people without diabetes

Prevention and Cost

• Prevention of complications (through patient
  education, covered supplies through insurance or
  AHCCCS, and improved clinical practice behaviors)
  would cost only a fraction of hospital admissions
• Studies have documented that a balanced diet, an
  exercise regimen, and improved glycemic control
  lead to substantial benefits for patients with
  type 2 diabetes in terms of decreased symptoms,
  higher quality of life, and economic savings
