Hurrah! You Don’t Have To Keep Spending Money on Diabetes

The $ cost of Type 2 Diabetes is $5,000 more in out-of-pocket expenses every year than others who do not have diabetes. That’s Deductibles, Copayments, Supplies, Medication and Travel to Clinic. Not to mention Lost Time from Work.

Save that money every year for something you want. A patient who has type 2 diabetes at 40 years of age can expect to spend more than $125,000 out-of-pocket by 65 years of age. That would be pretty nice to put into retirement savings!

Save indirect costs in addition to medical expenses. Cost of illness is even greater in other ways than healthcare cost. Illness and disability affect performance and productivity. They reduce ability to earn income and ability to manage personal, family and social commitments.

Save today and be secure for tomorrow. Day-to-day financial expenses make it hard to save for future healthcare and retirement. Make sure that illness and disability won’t cut short the years generating income and managing commitments.

Reversing Diabetes Now is an opportunity for long, rewarding, independent living with financial security free of huge healthcare expenses.

Impact Of Good Health Practice On Length Of Life

Reverse Diabetes Now and Gain Years of Good Health. Studies have shown that at age 40 years, men and women without diabetes lived more than 5 years longer than people with diabetes. Women lived longer than men, and have greater life expectancy.

Years to be gained was studied in almost 200,000 patients living in England. Most were Caucasian who had greater potential benefit than South Asian and black ethnic groups.

Life tables for 17 years were constructed for 143,724 Caucasian patients 40 to 80 years old and 653,390 age-matched Caucasian individuals without diabetes. The patients without diabetes had less cardiovascular and renal disease than individuals with diabetes. Levels of blood pressure and prevalence of smoking were the same in both groups.

The Figure shows that individuals without diabetes lived longer. Those who were male and female life expectancy older at the time data was first entered lived to older ages than those who were younger. They had already survived life hazards that had struck those who were younger.

Also, the Figure shows that at age 40, Caucasian men without diabetes gained 5 years of life and Caucasian women without diabetes gained 6 years of life. The gain in years of life was reduced to 2 and 3 years at age 80.

The greatest reductions in causes of death for patients without diabetes were cardiovascular and renal diseases. However, patients without diabetes also had less death from cancer and respiratory diseases.

Individuals who do not have diabetes can extend life well beyond avoiding type 2 diabetes.

good health practiceThese Good Health Practices (GHP) prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes. However, the best possible health and life expectancy even exceeds success in avoiding type 2 diabetes.

We’ve known for more than 20 years that more than half of premature deaths are caused by high-risk Health Practices. Fortunately, we now have a truly comprehensive analysis of Health Practices and Life Expectancy.

The Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals’ Follow-Up Study in the United States included data from 123,219 women and men during approximately 30 years.

Results showed that those who followed all 5 GHP prolonged their Life Expectancy about 50% more than those who did not follow any. At age 50 years, women who followed all 5 GHP lived 29 more years, which was 14 years longer than those who did not follow any. Men at age 50 years who followed all 5 GHP lived 26 more years which was 12 years longer than those who did not follow any.

The reality of Good Health Practices throughout life is prolonged Life Expectancy. Women who follow all GHP live 90 years and men who follow all GHP live 88 years.

male and female life expectancyAdding lines for Females at age 90 and Males at age 88 shows that people who avoid diabetes can prolong Life Expectancy still more.

Note that Life Expectancy with all GHP is substantially more than just preventing or reversing type 2 diabetes. The Figure shows that preventing or reversing diabetes achieves only about half the full potential for prolonging Life.

Disability-Free and Disabled Life Years

Preventing and Reversing Diabetes significantly increases disability-free life years. In fact, reversing diabetes increases disability-free life years even more than total life years. As a result, people with GHP have a much greater proportion of their remaining years free of disability.

 

This effect of extending disabled life years has been reported from Michigan in the Health and Retirement Study. This is a continuing study of approximately 20,000 Americans over the age of 50 years. Every two years, the investigators collect information about income, work, assets, pension plans, health insurance, disability, physical health and functioning, cognitive functioning, and health care expenditures.

men disability and death with and without diabetes

This Figure shows data for Mobility Loss Disability. From age 50, men without diabetes developed disability 6 years later, and gained 6 more years free of disability than men with diabetes.

With increasing age, the gain of total and disability-free life years was less than at younger baseline age. Even so, men without diabetes gained about twice as much disability-free life as those with diabetes.

women disability and death with and without diabetesSimilar results were observed among women. Those without diabetes were free of disability 6 to 7 years beyond women with diabetes and lived 1 to 2 years longer free of disability. As a result, women without diabetes from age 50 gained 7 disability-free years and had 2.5 more disability-free years compared to women with diabetes.

As was seen with men, differences in disability among women decreased with increasing age.

Additional Savings Free of Disability include more than medical expenses. Costs for healthcare range from $40,000 a year for home healthcare to more than $90,000 a year in a nursing home.

Savings from out-of-pocket healthcare expenses provide support for long, rewarding, independent living with financial security free of huge healthcare expenses.

Summary

Reversing and preventing type 2 diabetes is an outstanding $ opportunity. Type 2 Diabetes is the most expensive chronic illness in the United States and there’s no sign of relief.

coffee mugThe most common method of paying medical expenses is healthcare insurance. This year, nearly 70% of mid to large employers offer high-deductible health plans. This means that people with serious chronic illnesses must pay their entire deductible early in the year or do without the healthcare services they need.

Some people are fortunate. Some have complete medical coverage and others do not yet require expensive treatment. However, it seems healthcare keeps getting more expensive and more and more costs are being shifted to consumers. Type 2 diabetes does not just get better by itself and disability does not wait for financial solutions.

Good Health Practices relieve the need for costly healthcare services. The 5 months left in 2019 are still enough time to decrease the need for expensive medication and costly services.
