Ukraine

In Ukraine, all types of insulin are available and reimbursed for children living with diabetes. Short and intermediate-acting insulins are also fully reimbursed for adults living with diabetes, while rapid, ultra-rapid and long-acting insulins are either fully or partly reimbursed depending on their HbA1C levels. Other diabetes medicines like Metformin and Sulfonylureas are also fully reimbursed.

A national diabetes plan was implemented until 2013. The development of a new plan was interrupted by the start of the war in 2022. Screening for the prevention of complications is available and reimbursed for all PwD through the public health system. However, PwD are not always referred to regular screening.

Access to diabetes education is dependent upon healthcare professionals (HCPs) and/or the clinic/hospital where PwD receive care providing it.
