We need immediate, coherent and radical change to rebuild our health systems, integrate evidence into practice, and remove barriers that hinder effective prevention and management of type 2 diabetes and that result in unacceptable numbers of people experiencing loss of quality of life and premature death.
These strategies are addressed in IDF Europe's latest publication, Type 2 Diabetes: An Avertable Disaster?, published in early June, which calls for the immediate and coherent adoption of the latest evidence-based recommendations for the management of type 2 diabetes across Europe. The publication is available
here, and the recording of the launch event is
