“…We found that 6.9 % had diabetes, which is consistent with national estimates of 7 % for diabetes in the US in 2012. 4 Our estimate of missed workdays is consistent with the low range of previous studies reported in a recent systematic review, 8 which showed that those with diabetes had 0.90-5.7 higher missed workdays than those without diabetes.…”

“…Several previous studies assessed different areas of research of the association between productivity loss and socio-demographic characteristics in individuals with diabetes. 4,5,8,9,13 However, we employed a novel two-part model to update previous MEPS estimates while accounting for the likelihood of having any missed workdays and the skewed distribution of cost of missed workdays. The aggregate cost of missed workdays was estimated be about $2.7 billion in adults with diabetes in the U.S population.…”

“…1,3,6 Individuals with diabetes have been shown to have substantially higher rates of missed work, disability and probability of being early retired than those without diabetes. 4,7,8 Based on 2000-2004 MEPS data, the combined job absenteeism costs of obesity, morbid obesity and diabetes were estimated to be $3.9 billion annually. 9 Costs associated with diabetes are estimated to have risen 41 % from $174 Billion ($116 billion direct cost and $58 billion indirect cost) in 2007 8 to $245 Billion ($176 billion direct cost and $69 billion indirect cost) in 2012.…”

OBJECTIVE: Although the national cost of missed workdays associated with diabetes has been estimated previously, we use the most recent available national data and methodology to update the individual and national estimates for the U.S population. METHODS: We identified 14,429 employed individuals ≥ 18 years of age in 2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data. Diabetes and missed workdays were based on self-report, and cost was based on multiplying the daily wage rate for each individual by the number of missed days. Adjusted total national burden of missed workdays associated with diabetes was calculated using a novel two-part model to simultaneously estimate the association of diabetes with the number and cost of missed workdays. RESULTS: The unadjusted annual mean 2011 cost of missed workdays was $277 (95 % CI 177.0-378.0) for individuals with diabetes relative to $160 (95 % CI $130-$189) for those without. The incremental cost of missed workdays associated with diabetes was $120 (95 % CI $30.7-$209

Objective A systematic review was performed to study factors of occurrence and improvement methods of presenteeism attributed to diabetes. Methods We set 2 clinical questions; (a) how comorbidities and complications of diabetes induce presenteeism and (b) what interventions or conditions effectively improve presenteeism. Then, we conducted a comprehensive search with MEDLINE /PubMed and Scopus databases and extracted those that met the clinical questions. Results Eighteen papers studied occurrence of presenteeism by comorbidities and complications of diabetes. Most studies were cross‐sectional and had a low quality of evidence. However, the associations of hypoglycemia, diabetic neuropathy, and mood disorders with presenteeism were relatively well studied. The papers that discussed effective interventions or conditions for improving presenteeism were very limited. Conclusions Our review suggests that presenteeism attributed to diabetes is mainly caused by hypoglycemia, diabetic neuropathy, and mood disorders. There are very limited evidences, but available information suggests that improving glycemic control, adjusting treatment regimen by evaluating the impact on work, providing psychological support, and developing suitable work accommodations may effectively reduce presenteeism.
