Healthy Living Reduces Type 2 Diabetes Care Costs By About $500 A Year

Exercise

Overweight individuals suffering from Type 2 diabetes could decrease their annualhealthcare costs by $500 through diet and exercise. 
Researchers looked at how diabetes patients could reduce their cost of care, and came up with some simple solutions, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center reported. 
"Lifestyle interventions promoting weight loss and physical activity are recommended for overweight and obese people with Type 2 diabetes to improve their health," said Mark A. Espeland, professor of public health sciences at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and lead author of the study. "This is the first study to show that weight loss can also save money for these individuals by reducing their health care needs and costs."
