Elevated blood glucose concentration is a result of defective insulin secretion, action, or both. Diabetes contributes to a significant increase in morbidity and mortality, and contributes to astronomical health care spending on inpatient hospital stays, outpatient hospital treatment, as well as long term care. Indirect costs of diabetes are related to disability, loss of work, and premature mortality. Risk for diabetes is highest among lower socioeconomic status individuals making the elevated medical costs for individuals with diabetes extremely difficult for patients to successfully manage their disease.
