"Diabetes is the most common non-communicable disease, affecting more than 32 million people in the European Union, according to estimates, representing nearly 10% of the total EU population. On top of this, the same number of citizens suffer from impaired glucose tolerance and have a very high probability of progressing to clinically manifest diabetes. Unfortunately, a 16% increase in the number of people living with diabetes in Europe is expected by 2030, as a result of the obesity epidemic, the ageing of the European population and other factors yet to be determined. It is known that Type 2 diabetes decreases life expectancy by five to 10 years and that Type 1 diabetes decreases life expectancy by around 20 years. Overall, 325 000 deaths per year are attributed to diabetes in the EU; that is, one European every two minutes. The reduction of identified risk factors, notably, lifestyle habits, is increasingly being recognised as a key prevention strategy able to reduce the incidence, prevalence and complications for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. As such, the factors mentioned in this motion for a resolution are key to effectively combating the diabetes epidemic."@en1
