Economic impact of sensor-based glucose monitoring of diabetes in Denmark
Economic impact of sensor-based glucose monitoring of diabetes in Denmark
Original title: Omkostninger og gevinster ved at tilbyde sensorbaserede glukosemĂĄlere til personer med diabetes i Danmark
Sensor-based glucose monitoring is a new and superior way for people with diabetes to monitor their blood glucose level. Today’s most common way for people to monitor their blood glucose level is the so-called finger pricking method.
Academic research suggests that the risk of complications, such as hypoglycaemia, is reduced when using sensor-based glucose monitoring. The lower risk reduces people with diabetes’ need for healthcare services, which has a positive impact on the public sector’s budgets.
Main conclusions of our study
The net cost of sensor-based glucose monitoring is much lower than its upfront cost
Sensor-based glucose monitoring reduces the risk of diabetes related complications such as hypoglycaemia
People with diabetes enjoy a higher degree of well-being when using sensor-based glucose monitoring and have fewer sick days
The study is commissioned by The Danish Diabetes Association (Diabetesforeningen).
