What's the Cost of Diabetes type 2 Diagnosis and Treatment in Italy?

Diabetes type 2 treatment cost in Italy primarily depends on whether the patient requires routine medication management or advanced surgical intervention. A retinal nerve fiber layer measurement (RNFL) typically runs from $100 to $200, while specialized procedures like metabolic surgery range from $12,500 to $20,000. Total expenses are influenced by the choice between oral therapy and insulin or the presence of complications. Patients can expect approximately 30-50% savings compared to the US, with top clinics located in Milan, Rome, and Ravenna.
