Unhealthy lifestyle has led, in recent years, to a real ‘diabetes epidemic’, the number of new cases increasing from month to month. Worldwide, it is estimated that the number of patients will increase from 194 million at present to 333 million by 2025. In the European Union, 31 million people, representing 8.6% of the population aged between 20 and 79 years, are suffering from diabetes. In Romania, there are 370 000 registered diabetics, their number increasing by 50 000 every year. However, diabetes specialists state that the real number of diabetics in Romania is double that. Diabetes is the leading cause of death in Europe, given that 80% of diabetics die from cardiovascular complications. Considering the above, I believe that an EU diabetes strategy with clear objectives regarding the prevention, diagnosis and management of the disease, along with education and research in this area, would be required."@en1
