Application/Key learning points: The 88-page Global Report on Diabetes calls upon governments to ensure that people are able to make healthy choices and that health systems are able to diagnose, treat and care for people with diabetes. It encourages us all as individuals to eat healthy, be physically active, and avoid excessive weight gain. The report describes the global burden of diabetes, as well as strategies to prevent and manage diabetes, and an overview of national plans and policies, and guidelines and protocols. The diabetes country profiles aim to synthesise, in one reference document, the status of diabetes prevention and control in every country. Each profile includes data on diabetes prevalence and trends; mortality; risk factors; availability of diabetes country plans; monitoring and surveillance; primary prevention and treatment policies and availability of medicines, basic technologies and procedures.
