A recently-released report said the number of people in India with diabetes is projected to be 73.5 million by 2025. India's total bill for diabetes will be at least $30 billion by 2025, and as economic wealth grew and standards of care improved, treatment costs were likely to rise. Comparing the cost of treating a patient with diabetes in the US, which is around $10,844 dollars a year, the report said, "If India's per capita expenditure rose to just one-tenth of this level, the total cost of treating all patients will be $79.7 billion by 2025."
