"From 2009 to 2013, pre-65-year-old adult diabetics on employer-sponsored plans saw their healthcare spending increase $1,000 to about $15,000 per capita, according to the Institute, which uses data from Aetna, Humana, Kaiser Permanente and UnitedHealthcare. Those individuals with diabetes also pay more out-of-pocket than their non-diabetic peers, on the order of 2.5 times more."
