Executive Summary
Improved early monitoring for diabetes could reduce the massive £2 billion NHS expenditure on diabetes care, says a report published on August 27th by the King's Fund. "More than half of this huge sum is spent treating the complications of the disease, which could be reduced by improving preventative care," claims Prof Harry Keen, chairman of the British Diabetic Association, which commissioned the report from the UK independent health policy think-tank.
