Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes costs are predominantly due to managing its chronic complications and excess hospitalisation. Optimising care reduces costs, but is challenged by limited health system integration, insufficient clinical governance and a lack of patient enablement. We ask whether integrated diabetes care, will reduce complication risk/hospital costs, and can be scalable beyond the test area.
