NHS Diabetes is today calling for more investment in specialist diabetes care to reduce the estimated ?600 million excess spend on treating diabetes in hospitals identified in a new report.
People with diabetes are more likely to be admitted to hospital and have longer stays than people of the same age without the condition.
The research, titled ?Inpatient Care for People with Diabetes: The Economic Case for Change (PDF 10.5MB)', found that the NHS in England spends more than ?2.3 billion a year[1] on inpatient care for people with diabetes. That?s 11% of NHS inpatient care expenditure.
