TL;DR: In this article, a European multidisciplinary consortium systematically reviewed the evidence on the effectiveness of screening and interventions for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevention using SIGN criteria, and provided evidence-based recommendations for preventing T2DM.

TL;DR: The incidence rate of childhood type 1 diabetes continues to rise across Europe by an average of approximately 3–4% per annum, but the increase is not necessarily uniform, showing periods of less rapid and more rapid increase in incidence in some registers.

TL;DR: Age/sex-standardised incidence rates for the 0- to 14-year-old age group are reported for 26 European centres that have registered newly diagnosed individuals in geographically defined regions for up to 25 years during the period 1989–2013, suggesting a doubling in incidence rate within approximately 20 years in Europe.

TL;DR: A comprehensive approach to diabetes prevention should combine population based primary prevention with programmes targeted at those who are at high risk, and take account of the local circumstances and diversity within modern society (e.g. social inequalities).

TL;DR: In this article, an expert consensus meeting was held to develop a framework for care of multimorbid patients that can be applied across Europe, within a project funded by the European Union; the Joint Action on Chronic Diseases and Promoting Healthy Ageing across the Life Cycle (JA-CHRODIS).
