The Hidden Costs of Untreated Diabetes: It’s More Than Insulin

When I talk to people about managing their diabetes, they often focus on the price of the pills or the needles. "I can't afford $600 a month," they say. And they are right—they shouldn't have to. But we have to talk about the other price tag: the cost of doing nothing.

Untreated diabetes is the most expensive "choice" you will ever make.

The Physical Toll

High blood sugar is like pouring sand into a delicate engine. It grinds away at your smallest blood vessels. This leads to the "big" costs: kidney dialysis ($90,000+ per year), heart surgery, and vision loss. According to the American Diabetes Association, the average medical expenses for people with diagnosed diabetes are 2.3 times higher than for those without.

The Opportunity Cost

It’s not just the doctor bills. It’s the missed days of work. It’s the inability to play with your grandkids because your feet are numb from neuropathy. It’s the constant, low-grade fear that you are a ticking time bomb. You can't put a price on your peace of mind, but you definitely feel the loss of it.
