More than 8 billion people now live on earth and the alarming forecast is that by the year 2050 over 1.3 billion of them could become seriously ill. Diabetes is the number one widespread disease. Around 96% of those currently affected suffer from #type2diabetes, the form of disease that is mostly associated with being #overweight and according to research is largely preventable. The #type1diabetes disease which usually occurs in childhood also raises many questions.
An institution that has been successfully supporting and promoting the fight against #diabetes for many years is the @EASDiabetes, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. For almost six decades it has brought together doctors, scientists, medical professionals and students in the fight against this devastating disease.
Groundbreaking research results and new therapies have become possible thanks to the EASD. We provide an important platform for knowledge exchange, #research #funding and #education. Our highly prestigious #awards support deserving medical professionals and scientists.
