The IDF Advocacy Academy trains and empowers people to become diabetes advocates who drive meaningful change for diabetes care and prevention. IDF Members, Blue Circle Voices and Young Leaders in Diabetes actively spread our messages nationally and regionally to shape policy for better health outcomes.
