"Today, 32 million Europeans between the ages of 20 and 79 suffer from diabetes and that figure is constantly growing. I followed closely the preparation of this report, which seeks to increase prevention, diagnosis, treatment and research. As a member of the EP’s Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, I felt that it was crucial to develop a targeted European strategy to combat this disease. In addition, as a member of the new National Sports Council (CNS), created by the French Sports Minister, David Douillet, I believe that sport should form an integral part of the public policies to prevent diabetes and obesity. Several studies have revealed that Type 2 diabetes could be combated by effective prevention strategies focusing on the risk factors (such as poor and unbalanced diet, obesity, lack of physical activity and alcohol consumption). The European Commission has already set up an EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health and it has drawn up a strategy on diet and physical activity, but we need to go further in order to protect our children and ourselves from these diseases."@en1
