"Diabetes is the most common non-communicable disease, affecting more than 32 million people in the European Union, representing nearly 10% of the total EU population. Particularly worrying in the case of Portugal is the significant increase in the incidence of the illness among children and young people. Type 2 diabetes decreases life expectancy by five to 10 years, while Type 1 diabetes decreases life expectancy by around 20 years. Overall, 325 000 deaths per year are attributed to diabetes in the EU. In most Member States, diabetes is responsible for over 10% of health care expenditure. The reduction of risk factors, notably lifestyle habits, is increasingly recognised as a key prevention strategy for achieving reduced diabetes rates. I voted for this motion for a resolution because I believe the measures therein will make a positive contribution to diabetes prevention and to a reduction in the incidence of the disease among the public."@en1
