  We have more than 500 million diabetics in the world and more than 7 million diabetics in Iran

Alireza Astaghati, specialist in endocrine and metabolism:

We have more than 500 million diabetics in the world and more than 7 million diabetics in Iran

It is predicted that we will have 800 million diabetic patients in the world soon

The technology of smart insulin injection pumps has become available in the world

These tools are not luxury and are covered by insurance in the world

We still don't have good insurance coverage for home blood sugar monitoring

Of the 350,000 tomans cost of the blood sugar test strip, the insurance pays only 120,000 tomans

Some consider the insulin pen as a luxury

The cost of treating complications of diabetes is crippling for the health system

We have twice as many cases of pre-diabetes as diabetic patients in the country

People do not know about nutrition, monitoring of diabetes and correct use of insulin

Doctors do not have the opportunity to teach

My emphasis is on education;  Both to diabetics and pre-diabetics

I heard they want to release insulin currency.  This is a disaster and causes the cost of patients to triple/mortality
