Diabetes Trivia Question: December 2021
TRIVIA TIME!
Last month, we asked how much more (in dollars) does the average person with T1D spend on medical costs and lost wages due to disability compared to someone without diabetes?ANSWER: $498,676. Scary to think that just having diabetes adds nearly half a MILLION dollars to one’s lifetime healthcare & productivity costs. A major portion can be attributed to acute and chronic complications, so that’s one more BIG reason to manage diabetes the best we can.
CONGRATS TO: Congrats to Becky Cheney, a DIY hybrid closed loop system user from Boyertown, PA, USA for coming within a few dollars of the correct answer!
