@Salvini c’è voluta un’intera reazione NAZIONALE a difesa di tanti innocenti per avete un risultato come quello causato da un solo chiodo (Salvini ricordi?) per bloccare pendolari italiani. Bello vedere un ministro così coinvolto👏peccato si accorga di essere ministro solo ora!

Thank you for being with us, Commissioner Varhelyi, and for your huge support to the diabetes community!

[European Diabetes Forum @EUDiabetesForum]

🔔 Yesterday, we had the privilege of co-hosting an impactful event with MEP @ignaziomarino on the urgent need to address the growing burden of #diabetes and #obesity.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers and participants for contributing to this timely and essential conversation.

💡 Commissioner @OliverVarhelyi  opened the event with a stark reminder: diabetes and obesity are major public health challenges closely linked to #cardiovascular disease, which could reduce life expectancy in the EU by up to three years by 2050. He emphasized that the upcoming EU Cardiovascular Health Plan will take a life-course approach, integrating prevention and care, and addressing diabetes and obesity.

👉 MEP @ignaziomarino highlighted that 686,000 people die from diabetes each year in #Europe. He stressed the importance of weight loss in reducing diabetes risk and called for equitable access to care, especially for disadvantaged populations disproportionately affected by obesity.

📒 Prof. Jean-François Gautier presented new recommendations from the on targeting the interplay between diabetes and obesity, including joint health checks and better-funded national diabetes plans. Read the recommendations here: https://t.co/spljnAkqN0

📣 MEP @JarubasAdam stressed the importance of implementing these recommendations in the CVH Plan.

During the expert roundtable, moderated by Prof. @SDelprato,
▫️ Prof. Eugenia Vlachou underlined the vital role of #nurses in managing diabetes and obesity.
▫️ Prof. Graziano Onder, Scientific Coordinator of JACARDI, showcased how pilot projects across Europe are helping reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes by supporting the full #patient journey.
▫️ @susieb16, living with obesity and type 2 diabetes, delivered a moving testimony: “I am not my disease, I am Susie.” Her words powerfully underscored the need to change the #narrative and fight #stigma.

In a roundtable with MEPs:
🔹 MEP @VeronikaCifrova called for public campaigns to reduce stigma and involve people with lived experience in shaping policy.
🔹 MEP @JerkovicRomana highlighted gender disparities in health, noting that women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health—diabetes included—and emphasized the growing EU focus on women’s health.
🔹 MEP @TomislavSokol stressed the importance of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) in managing chronic conditions, empowering patients, and improving care through better data access.

💬 The message was clear: we must act now—through prevention, early detection, equitable care, and a shift in how we talk about these diseases.

We stand ready to support the EU Cardiovascular Health Plan and look forward to continued collaboration with the @Europarl_EN and the @EU_Commission.

[Oliver Varhelyi @OliverVarhelyi]

Thanks @ignaziomarino & @EUDiabetesForum for today’s discussion on rising diabetes & obesity. By 2050, weight-related diseases could cut life expectancy by 3 years & fuel heart disease—EU’s top cause of early death. Our 2025 CV Health Plan will cover prevention to care. #EUHealth
