Highlights des Weltkongresses zur Prävention des Diabetes – Von der Theorie in die Praxis

Ziel des Weltkongresses zur Prävention des Diabetes war es, den bei der Behandlung von Menschen mit Diabetes mellitus beteiligten Berufsgruppen möglichst einfache Instrumente an die Hand zu geben. Dazu gehört das vom europäischen IMAGE-Projekt (Development and Implementation of a European Guideline and Training Standard for Diabetes Prevention) entwickelte Toolkit. Aus der Intention, zu erfahren, wie in anderen Ländern die Prävention des Diabetes durchgeführt wird, entstand das Buch „Diabetes Prevention in Practice“. Weitere wichtige Highlights waren die Vorstellung des internationalen Netzwerkes „who is active in diabetes prevention“ und einer neuen Untersuchungsmethode (EZSCAN) zur Bestimmung des Risikos, einen Diabetes zu entwickeln.

The World Congress for Diabetes Prevention aimed at providing professionals engaged in treating diabetes mellitus patients with means that are most easily applied. One of these means is the toolkit developed by the European Image Project „Development and Implementation of a European Guideline and Training Standard for Diabetes Prevention“. The book entitled „Diabetes Prevention in Practice“ was written with the intention to know how diabetes prevention is practised in other countries. Other important highlights were the presentation of the international network „Who is active in diabetes prevention“ and of a new method of examination (EZSCAN) determining the risk to develop diabetes.
