Global Partnership for Effective Diabetes Management

The Global Partnership for Effective Diabetes Management was founded in 2004 as a multidisciplinary taskforce of internationally-respected diabetes experts from leading institutions and diabetes organizations, committed to improving outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes.

To build on the momentum generated by the recent UN resolution on diabetes, the Global Partnership has developed three short presentations to provide inspirational, yet practical, direction for the global diabetes community. Offering 'real world' guidance, underpinned by motivational success stories from around the world, the presentations aim to raise diabetes awareness from grassroots to governments, improve clinical practice, increase understanding and stress the urgent need for action.

The three presentations are designed to help all diabetes healthcare professionals communicate with as wide an audience as possible, including policy makers, fellow healthcare professionals and the general public.

Together we can continue the current momentum and improve diabetes care and prevention in the 21st century.
