Indirect costs include temporarily disability (335.7 million), permanent disability (452.4 million) and reduced productivity due to premature mortality (950.3 million).<h4>Conclusions</h4>T2DM is a costly disease in the Iran healthcare system and consume more than 8.69% of total health expenditure.
