The 6th WCPD provides a great opportunity to enable a more effective communication between all people interested in diabetes prevention and its management. It offers the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others especially discussing barriers encountered during prevention programme implementation.
Our aim is to have the translation of what we have learned in Science into practical skills of prevention. We want to encourage the adoption of best practices in diabetes prevention involving a good partnership between all relevant players. Effective primary prevention is essential to reduce the epidemic of type 2 diabetes throughout the world. To achieve this, action is needed not only in the field of policy making but also in the development of targeted intervention programmes which address the needs of people with an increased risk of diabetes, clinical- and community-based healthcare professionals and the general population.
