The cost of the measured components are direct medical costs (the cost of doctor visits, medicine costs, costs of complications and the cost of laboratories test) and human capital (HC) such as indirect non-medical costs (lost revenue per day). The results show the value of COI in the six months treatment of insulin and insulin-metformin combination sequentially 661,063.59 IDR and 443,165.28 IDR.
