RESUMEN
Diabetes is a major global epidemic and places a huge burden on healthcare systems worldwide. The complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related hospitalizations are major contributors to this burden, and there is strong evidence that the risk for these can be reduced by early action to identify and prevent progression of people at high risk of T2D and ensure tight glycemic control in those with established disease. In response to this, the Berlin Declaration was developed by four working groups of experts and ratified by healthcare professionals from 38 countries. Its aim is to act as a global call to action for early intervention in diabetes, in addition to providing short-, medium- and long-term targets that should be relevant to all nations. The Berlin Declaration focuses on four aspects of early action, and proposes actionable policies relating to each aspect: early detection, prevention, early control and early access to the right interventions. In addition, a number of treatment targets are proposed to provide goals for these policies. To ensure that the suggested policies are enacted in the most effective manner, the support of specialist care professionals is considered essential.

Diabetes is epidemic worldwide and places a huge burden on healthcare systems. The majority of the cost of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is related to hospitalization and the management of complications, and these also have a negative impact on the individual's quality of life. The Berlin Declaration is a global call for early action for the identification of high risk individuals, prevention of T2D and the prevention of complications in those with T2D, through prevention, early detection, early control and early access to the right multidisciplinary interventions. This should empower people to take action to prevent T2D and its complications.
