"According to the World Health Organisation, 86% of deaths in Europe are caused by non-communicable diseases, diabetes being among the most common. Although it cannot be dismissed as a behavioural illness, the truth is that it is associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits: tobacco, poor diet, lack of physical activity and alcohol. As such, there is an urgent need to develop policy areas that contribute to diabetes prevention, and to preventing its complications and economic and social costs. Countries must reduce the mortality rates associated with diabetes, if not its prevalence, and the Union can play an important role in this. This reduction must be achieved, not only through prevention hand in hand with campaigns promoting healthier lifestyles, but also through a very strong emphasis on the early diagnosis, detection and treatment of diabetes, factors known to be crucial in cutting mortality rates."@en1
