About

diabetesDE – German Diabetes Aid is an independent non-profit-organisation that unites people with diabetes and their families, physicians, researchers and other diabetes professionals. As a young umbrella organization, they are enabling diabetes experts and their patients, organized in three member organisations, to meet on eye level:

German Diabetes Association (DDG)
German Association of Diabetes Educating and Councelling Professions (VDBD)
German Diabetes Aid – People with diabetes (DDH-M)
The organization was founded by DDG and VDBD. In 2012, DDH-M was founded to ensure an adequate representation of people suffering from diabetes within diabetesDE- German Diabetes Aid. The federal organization DDH-M and its regional associations coordinate all activities of people with diabetes and advocate their interests.
