"I voted in favour of this resolution, which emphasises diabetes prevention, diagnosis and research. Diabetes is one of the most common non-communicable diseases, affecting more than 32 million EU citizens.
It is important to distinguish between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes as distinct diseases. Research is still needed to clearly identify risk factors and genetic predisposition for Type 1 diabetes.
With regard to Type 2 diabetes, the causes have been identified. Up to 80% of Type 2 diabetes could, however, be avoided by eliminating the risk factors for these diseases (smoking, poor diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol abuse). The resolution goes on to recommend strategies to be implemented from an early age through education about healthy dietary and physical activity habits in schools.
Significant progress in terms of health care, along with a healthier lifestyle, will ensure improved quality of life for people with an early diagnosis of diabetes."@en1
