Despite recent advances in understanding and treating diabetes, the number of Europeans living with the condition continues to grow. There are 61 million people living with diabetes in Europe today, and this figure is expected to reach 67 million by 2030, with approximately 90% of diabetes cases occurring in T2D. More than half of them will die prematurely due to preventable diabetes complications. In 2021, the cost of diabetes care was €176 billion, 75% of which is related to the health costs of treating complications.
