Background
[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false”]32 million EU adults (8.2%) had diabetes in 2013, and this number could rise to 38 million by 2035. Diabetes is the fourth most common cause of death in Europe.The effective treatment and management of diabetes calls for comprehensive approaches to care that empower patients and enable them to self-manage their disease to the best possible extent. There are good models across the EU on the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes, that can serve as an example to others and that can also apply to other chronic diseases.
This work package (WP 7) addresses the challenge that the burden of diabetes places on the health systems and individuals. Its principal objective is to improve coordination and cooperation among Member States to act on diabetes, including the exchange of good practices across the EU. WP 7 focuses on identification of people at high risk, early diagnosis, prevention of complications, and comprehensive multifactorial care. Special emphasis will be given to support the development and implementation of National Diabetes Plans.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mk_circle_image src=”https://chrodis.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/WP7-PICT01.jpg” image_diameter=”250″ animation=”right-to-left” el_class=”mk-extra-pad”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https://chrodis.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/SECTION-generalbg.jpg” bg_stretch=”true” speed_factor=”4″ padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”50″ first_page=”false” last_page=”true” sidebar=”Under Construction”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”36″ font_weight=”inhert” txt_transform=”uppercase” letter_spacing=”1″ margin_bottom=”18″ font_family=”none”]

Approach
[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false”]Task 1 – High Risk
Mapping data/good practices on prevention interventions for people at high risk of type 2 diabetes, and demonstration of how good practice could be transferred and implemented elsewhere
Task 2 – Prevention of Complications
Mapping data/good practices on prevention of complications of type 2 diabetes and demonstration of how good practice could be transferred and implemented elsewhere. Models of care delivery and centeredness of people with diabetes will be the main focus.
Task 3 – Health Promotion
Assessment of early health promotion intervention strategies for people with type 2 diabetes: identification, recommendations, and sharing of good practices

Task 4 – Education and Training
Overview of existing guidelines on effective training for health professionals and other stakeholders, aimed at improving the health literacy of and empowering persons with diabetes
Task 5 – National Diabetes Plans
