Why Diabetes Management in Primary Care?
- While the state of Oklahoma faces many health challenges, one of the most glaring is diabetes. According to the America Diabetes Association, in 2022 approximately 451,888 people have been diagnosed with diabetes.
- Every year an estimated 23,717 people in Oklahoma are diagnosed with diabetes.
- Moreover, 1,036,000 people in Oklahoma, 36.9% of the adult population, have prediabetes. As of 2021, Oklahoma has 63 Endocrinologists, among which 52 (83%) practice in the metro areas of Tulsa or Oklahoma City.
- People with diabetes have medical expenses approximately 2.3 times higher than those who do not have diabetes. The total direct medical expenses for diagnosed diabetes in Oklahoma were estimated at $2.8 billion in 2017. In addition, another $1 billion was spent on indirect costs from lost productivity due to diabetes.
- In 2023, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at the National Institutes of Health invested $1,809,277 in diabetes-related research projects in Oklahoma.
