"This joint motion for a resolution, pursuant to Rule 110(4) of the Rules of Procedure, replacing the motions for resolutions of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, deals with urgently needed measures for reducing the diabetes epidemic in the European Union. The increase in life expectancy witnessed in recent decades has meant that there are more people with chronic illnesses, constituting a huge challenge for sufferers, their families and society. Diabetes is the fourth most common illness and accounts for around 10% of national health budgets. More than 30 million Europeans suffer from diabetes. Nonetheless, current therapies do not halt its progress, and their
has to involve early diagnosis and prevention, as well as a commitment to research, obviously. In fact, Type 2 diabetes can be avoided by maintaining a balanced diet and doing physical exercise. I voted for this joint motion for a resolution, since I believe that the measures proposed will enable a significant reduction in diabetes rates, improving the public’s quality of life and significantly reducing their treatment costs."@en1
