This diploma thesis presents an overview of current trends in the consumption of drugs for diabetes treatment in the Czech Republic, summarizes the current drug therapy recommendations in the context of professional medical societies and points to future developments and trends. Diabetes in recent years is referred as an epidemic of 21 century. Constantly increasing prevalence alarms professional society to active approach to address this issue. Cost of diabetes treatment grow every year and make 20 billion CZK a year. 10 to 15% from this amount are pharmacotherapy expenses. This amount represents about 7% of total expenditure on health. Total expenses for diabetes drugs reached CZK 2.4 billion in 2010, which represents 58 % growth compared to 2005. An average diabetic consumes about 10 packs of drugs per year, which is about two more than in 2005.
