Changing Diabetes Barometer

In March 2007 at the Global Changing Diabetes Forum in New York, Lars Rebien Sørensen, president and CEO of Novo Nordisk committed the company to develop a Changing Diabetes Barometer.

The Changing Diabetes Barometer is a framework for measuring progress in the fight against diabetes.

A crucial driver of improving diabetes care is the continuous measurement of the status of prevention, progress and treatment of diabetes on international, national, regional and local levels across countries and this is essential to guide the actions to change diabetes.

The Changing Diabetes Barometer aims to inspire and support key national stakeholders to take action and establish measurement systems that can be applied as part of their national healthcare systems. The long-term vision is to establish a global baseline when countries around the world have established measurement systems within diabetes care.

The first international Changing Diabetes Barometer report provides an overview of results found in 21 countries and was presented on 7 November 2007.
