The dramatic growth in the rate of diabetes prompts serious debates about awareness, early diagnosis, and care interventions. This Viewpoint aims to explore, from the perspectives of healthcare sector representatives, what challenges and difficulties they face in dealing with diabetes and how these can be overcome. We applied the World Café method for group discussions, which enabled us to bring together 50 stakeholders. They identified challenges at institutional and structural levels under the concepts of awareness, digitalisation, and new forms of care and shared their suggestions for feasible solutions. We learned there is a need for a diabetes map of Germany to identify risk groups and that hybrid solutions should be implemented for treatment, care, prevention, and early diagnosis, considering digital infrastructure. Also, the demand for digital innovation in the healthcare system raised concerns about information transparency and data management.
糖尿病发病率的急剧增长引发了关于认识、早期诊断和护理干预的激烈辩论。本观点旨在从医疗保健部门代表的角度探讨他们在应对糖尿病时面临哪些挑战和困难，以及如何克服这些问题。我们采用世界咖啡屋方法进行小组讨论，这使我们能够召集50名利益相关者。他们在认识、数字化和新型护理等概念下确定了机构和结构层面的挑战，并分享了可行解决方案的建议。我们了解到需要一份德国糖尿病地图来识别风险群体，并且应考虑数字基础设施，为治疗、护理、预防和早期诊断实施混合解决方案。此外，医疗保健系统中对数字创新的需求引发了对信息透明度和数据管理的担忧。
