Currently 6.4 million Mexicans have a medical diagnosis of DM II, that is, 9.4% of the adult population (20 years and older). However, this figure does not include those who have not been diagnosed or are at high risk of developing the disease. DM II is the second cause of death in Mexico and is among the five leading causes of years of life lived with disabilities. Objective: Evaluate the Cost Effectiveness of Diabetes treatment in Mexico. Material and Method: A systematic review was carried out on the Internet based on articles published in Crossref, PUBMED, JCR, NCBI, SCOPUS, information from government institutions; the search is performed using keywords such as; Cost-Effectiveness and Diabetes. Results: Of a total of 22 references reviewed, 5. (23%) were detected in CROSSREF, 12 (54%) in PUBMED, 5 (23%) were detected from information from government institutions. Conclusion: According to the revised literature, the expense that is made in Mexico for diabetes care is high, but most of that investment is going to treat complications and not prevention.</p&gt;}, number={17}, journal={Mexican Journal of Medical Research ICSA}, author={Salinas, Marco Antonio}, year={2021}, month={Jan.}, pages={16-21} }
