Core Tip	The costs of medical treatment of diabetes are poorly documented in sub-Saharan Africa, while such data are of interest for several stakeholders and useful for advocacy. There is a lack of tools to make these estimations. We describe a standardized, innovative and user-friendly medical cost calculator and provide the results of its use in four countries. It was developed in West-Africa but it is also relevant for other African countries and perhaps even in Asia provided the standard treatment protocol is deemed appropriate.
