Diabetes expenditure, burden of disease and management in 5 EU countries

Aim: The aim of this study is to identify and compare the diabetes burden of disease, costs (direct and indirect) and diabetes outcomes, focusing on complications across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK (EU5).  We will then have an understanding of the state of diabetes management in EU5 from which to make informed policy options.
Materials and methods: A survey was designed and sent to health economists in the EU5 countries. In turn, key diabetes clinicians, decision makers and health officials were interviewed in order to answer the survey.  In addition, secondary data was collected from PubMed, diabetes association publications and health government publications and websites, including national statistics.
