"For many years, I have been involved in work in my region on behalf of people living with diabetes. So I am all the more pleased that this problem, which is growing so rapidly, has become the subject of discussion in the European Parliament. Not only are very many of the EU’s citizens affected by this disease, but also the number of people at risk of developing it is significant and increasing, so it is very important to raise awareness of this disease. We must tackle this problem, and methods of fighting diabetes which are more innovative will definitely be needed.
It will be important to develop a suitable strategy on diabetes, and this will include early diagnosis and research in this area. It is essential to analyse data on the disease and those who live with it so that we can understand the problem and be able to find a solution or reduce it significantly. This will need action not only from the EU institutions, but chiefly from the Member States, in particular, when developing programmes to combat diabetes. Furthermore, the Member States should include preventative measures to enable the control of chronic diseases. Diabetes should be seen as a priority social challenge, and the strategy for combating this disease should be supported with appropriate funding."@en1
