Diabetes is considered a civilisation disease whose treatment, since the diagnosis, continues throughout lifetime. This is a huge burden to the health insurance system. From the data of the National Health Fund (Polish: Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia, NFZ) it transpires that the number of those suffering from type 2 diabetes exceeds 1.6 million. In fact, this number is higher since some persons having diabetes have never been diagnosed. That is why it is very important, for both the health system, and the patients themselves and their relatives, to have access to education, appropriate prevention and, once diagnosed, to start treatment as soon as possible so that not to develop complications or to delay them. Therefore, the Supreme Audit Office conducted an audit to evaluate the activities aimed at diagnosing those threatened with and suffering from type 2 diabetes at an early stage, and at implementing effective methods for treating the disease.
