    Objectives: DM (Diabetes mellitus) is a serious community health problem and considered a burden of disease for social security institutions, households, and society. The objective was to analyse the costs of inpatients with diabetes mellitus. Study Design: This study has a descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective research approach. Method: In the study, diagnosis related groups (DRGs) related with diabetes mellitus were analysed with regard to hospital invoices and DRG costing. This is a retrospective study on 649 patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of Type 1 (83 patients) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (566 patients) in the year of 2013 at Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital in Turkey. The study included patients with diagnoses of E10 Type 1 diabetes mellitus and E11 Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 1 and Type 2 DM costs were calculated by examining inpatient treatment invoices of related patients. DM treatment costs were limited according to hospital services. Results: The average age of diabetes mellitus patients in the study was 57.24 +/- 15.79 years old and the average length of stay for these patients was calculated as 9.56 +/- 10.35 days. The average amount of service activity invoice was calculated as $714.90 and average DRG amount was $1223.40 for 649 inpatients with the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in 2013. A significant difference was found in average hospital costs between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Conclusion: Disease cost analyses in hospitals are required in order to prioritize healthcare services, use resources efficiently and decrease the financial burden of diseases on the society.
