Message from the President
Diabetes affects every country in the world and we have to fight together to prevent, find a best treatment or cure this disease. It is necessary that European society as a whole is responsive to the needs of people with diabetes and supports the scientific research community in its fight against this disease. We believe that being part of the IDF will help to achieve these objectives.
