Freeing the exchange rate of insulin is a disastrous decision
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
