Highlights
- •It is possible to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes in high risk individuals.
- •Risk of complications from type 2 diabetes can be reduced by good early control.
- •The Berlin Declaration proposes simple policies to target these issues.
- •It is hoped that this will empower people to take action and improve outcomes.
- •Primary care physicians have a key role in implementing the Berlin Declaration.
Abstract
Diabetes is epidemic worldwide and places a huge burden on healthcare systems. The
majority of the cost of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is related to hospitalization and the
management of complications, and these also have a negative impact on the individual’s
quality of life. The Berlin Declaration is a global call for early action for the
identification of high risk individuals, prevention of T2D and the prevention of complications
in those with T2D, through prevention, early detection, early control and early access
to the right multidisciplinary interventions. This should empower people to take action
to prevent T2D and its complications.
