The Hidden Costs of Type 2 Diabetes in Iran

You're planning a big party. Now, think of the costs involved: food, drinks, decorations, maybe even a band. This is similar to what researchers in Iran did, but instead of a party, they were calculating the cost of Type 2 diabetes. They found that this sweet enemy isn't just affecting people's health, but also digging deep into their pockets. The study took a close look at the expenses tied to Type 2 diabetes, from medication to hospital visits. It turns out, this health issue is a big financial burden on Iran, and it's only getting heavier as more people join the party they never wanted to be at.Why is this happening? Well, Type 2 diabetes has been on the rise for a while now. More people have it, and that means more money is needed to treat them. But it's not just about the money. This study also highlights the need for better prevention and care plans to curb the tide of this costly disease.
