"I welcomed this resolution. Almost 33 million EU citizens suffer from diabetes and it is estimated that the number of people with this disease will increase significantly in the decade ahead. In many Member States, spending on people suffering from the illness already accounts for more than 10% of all health care expenditure and, on average, treatment costs approximately EUR 2 100 per patient. Although the growing number of people with diabetes represents a serious threat to the Member States’ health care systems and significantly increases their expenditure, only 14 EU Member States have national programmes to tackle diabetes. I welcome the resolution’s call for the Commission to present an EU diabetes strategy and ensure its implementation in the Member States. The Member States must also take active steps to develop national diabetes programmes, which would promote healthy lifestyles, risk factor reduction, prevention, early diagnosis and methods of treating diabetes, and would provide the population, particularly people in high-risk groups, with detailed information."@en1
