About 500,000 people suffer from diabetes in Finland, a number which is predicted to increase within the next decades. At the moment, diabetes can neither be prevented nor cured. Diabetes is associated with microvascular (kidney, eye and peripheral nerves) and macrovascular complications (coronary heart disease, stroke). These complications affect the quality of life of patients and account for a substantial proportion of healthcare costs in Finland. The.current guidelines offer recommendations for the diagnosis, screening, prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications.
芬兰约有50万人患有糖尿病，预计这一数字在未来几十年内还会上升。目前，糖尿病既无法预防也无法治愈。糖尿病与微血管并发症（肾脏、眼睛和周围神经）以及大血管并发症（冠心病、中风）相关。这些并发症影响患者的生活质量，在芬兰的医疗费用中占很大比例。现行指南为糖尿病及其并发症的诊断、筛查、预防和治疗提供了建议。
