"Diabetes is one of the most common non-communicable diseases and affects more than 32 million EU citizens. Diabetes is a major issue for our society. In one decade, the number of people living with diabetes has skyrocketed. Unfortunately, there is currently no treatment to cure diabetes. In addition, many diabetic patients are the victims of discrimination and prejudice is still rife in schools, employment agencies and workplaces, and also in terms of insurance policies, for which the premiums for an appropriate level of cover are often exorbitant. The Commission must urgently define and implement a targeted EU diabetes strategy and support the actions of Member States. Member States must develop national diabetes programmes and promote Type 2 diabetes and obesity prevention through strategies to be implemented from an early age through education about healthy dietary and physical activity habits in schools. Patients must have access to health care and diabetes treatments."@en1
