"Diabetes, one of the most common of non-communicable diseases, is directly responsible for the death of 325 000 EU-citizens every year and the shocking decrease by 5-20 years of the life expectancy for 32 million people, earning its nickname as the silent assassin. Diabetes and the related impaired glucose intolerance demands more than 10% of total national health care expenditures and researchers expect a 16.6% increase in the number of people living with diabetes by 2030 and consequently a growing burden on health care systems. Despite these alarming figures, however, only 14 of the 27 EU Member States have developed their national programmes to tackle the disease and its consequences and, despite the initiatives of the Austrian Presidency in 2006, the European Parliament and the UN, there is still no EU level strategy to address the issue. The Commission must develop a targeted strategy for the effective prevention, diagnosis, management and research of diabetes and to present specific recommendations for Member States to support the development of national diabetes programmes. Reliable data collection, standardised criteria for data processing and health education are also necessary, since diabetes can be effectively addressed by identifying the risk factors and promoting prevention strategies."@en1
