What if hitting holistic diabetes targets could both improve patient lives and cut long‑term costs? 📈💰

A China‑adapted UKPDS OM2 simulation using SURPASS‑AP‑Combo data shows sustained achievement of composite treatment targets (HbA1c ≤6.5%, ≥10% weight loss, no hypoglycaemia) delivers 0.31–0.56 QALYs and ¥22,336–¥53,234 per‑patient savings over 30 years, with larger benefits the longer targets are sustained (3, 5, 10 years). Gains stem from fewer macro‑ and microvascular events, less hypoglycaemia, and delayed insulin intensification—strengthening the case for value‑based access to weight‑lowering, low‑hypoglycaemia therapies.
