   Leverkusen, November 12, 2007 - "Diabetes is a growing pandemic, with over 380 million people affected within a generation," was how Anne Marie Felton, President of the Federation of European Nurses in Diabetes (FEND), described the prevalence of diabetes at the 4th European Nurses Symposium, which was held in Leverkusen on November 7-11.In Europe more than 10 percent of the population will be affected in 2025.
   
   The symposium hosted by Bayer HealthCare gave more than 260 nurses from across Europe the opportunity to listen to experts on diabetes, to share and discuss their own experiences with colleagues from different countries and to identify possible scientific collaborations for the future.
   
   Anne Marie Felton, a member of the board of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), presented the "Unite for Diabetes" campaign, which is partnered by Bayer HealthCare and supported by the UN Resolution on diabetes.She expressed the hope that the resolution will increase global awareness, boost recognition of the humanitarian, social and economic burden of the disease and lead to prioritization of diabetes care, the implementation of cost-effective strategies, development of preventative strategies and recognition of special-needs groups.
