Global burden of diabetes mellitus clearly demonstrate inadequacy of current diabetes care measures: the costs of caring for patients with diabetes mellitus are the highest compared to other frequent pathologies. Nonetheless, for every 10 s one patient dies of diabetes-related consequences. Thus, there is urgent need for highly effective measures that would lead to reduced prevalence, better long-term outcomes and improved quality of life for diabetic patients reducing associated economic burden. Such targeted measures would require the creation of new guidelines for advanced diabetes care that would provide for regulation, for timely predictive diagnostics as well as an effective prevention and creation of individualized treatment algorithms. Effective communication among the research community healthcare providers, policy-makers, educators and organized patient groups (Federations of Diabetics) is of paramount importance and essential for (pre)diabetes care. The ultimate mission of the "European Association for Predictive, Preventive & Personalised Medicine" is to promote this process in Europe and across the globe.
全球糖尿病负担清楚地表明，目前的糖尿病护理措施还远远不够：与其他常见疾病相比，糖尿病患者的护理费用最高。尽管如此，每 10 秒就有一名患者死于糖尿病相关并发症。因此，迫切需要采取非常有效的措施，降低糖尿病的患病率，改善患者的长期预后和生活质量，减轻相关的经济负担。这些有针对性的措施需要为先进的糖尿病护理制定新的指南，以实现规范管理、及时预测性诊断以及有效的预防和制定个体化的治疗方案。研究界、医疗保健提供者、政策制定者、教育者和有组织的患者团体（糖尿病联合会）之间的有效沟通至关重要，对于糖尿病前期和糖尿病的护理至关重要。“欧洲预测、预防和个性化医学协会”的最终使命是在欧洲乃至全球推动这一进程。
