The importance of diabetes and prediabetes health services and health economics in disease management cannot be overstated. Access to high-quality healthcare, regular check-ups, and proper medications are essential for effectively managing diabetes in individuals. Moreover, health economics plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability and affordability of diabetes-related services, considering the significant costs associated with managing the disease. By strategically allocating resources to diabetic healthcare services and carefully assessing the economic consequences of the disease, healthcare systems may effectively support individuals with diabetes and reduce the burden on both patients and society. Assessing the economic impact of strategies for managing diabetes is crucial for understanding the financial effects of different interventions and preventive measures. This study can aid politicians and healthcare professionals in making educated decisions on resource allocation and prioritizing cost-effective interventions. Ensuring the availability of diabetic care is highly dependent on the existence of health insurance coverage and the enforcement of reimbursement regulations.
This Research Topic examines the primary factors that contribute to healthcare expenses and explores strategies for providing sustained financial assistance to prediabetes and diabetes programs. This topic will primarily focus on economic evaluation, quantifying quality-adjusted life-years, and cost-effective diabetic therapy. It will discuss the fundamental elements that have a significant impact on healthcare costs and address the concerns around the sustainable financial backing for activities connected to diabetes. The discussions will revolve around the concept and several manifestations of economic evaluation, the measurement of quality-adjusted life-years, and its use in identifying cost-effective treatments for diabetes, accompanied by specific examples.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts including, but not limited to, the following themes: Special focus will be given (but is not restricted) to:
• Economic Burden of Diabetic Mellitus and Prediabetes
- cost of diabetes and prediabetes condition
- cost of diabetes complications
- registries for diabetes and their impact in standard of care and policy in diabetes
- the role and the economic impact of prevention in diabetes: screening of prediabetes, as early detection and intervention can help prevent the development of full-blown diabetes.
• Disparities in diabetes health services
- access to diabetic therapy
- patients education program
• Information on the economic burden of diabetes-related conditions l for governments, employers, other health payers, and health care providers to assess opportunities for improving service delivery and, ultimately, health outcomes.
- population at risk for developing diabetes and indirect costs
- the incidence and prevalence of diabetes, prediabetes and other diabetes types and their economic impact.
Keywords:
diabetes, pre-diabetes, healthcare services, resource allocation, health economics

All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
