Diabetes Research in Ireland
Each year, the Diabetes Federation of Ireland funds Irish based diabetes research in Ireland. In 2007, we funded 3 projects which are investigating:

• impaired glucose tolerance in children with cystic fibrosis - Target Achieved
• peer support education for people with Type 2 Diabetes - Target Achieved
• health beliefs and management behaviours of people with Type 2 diabetes. - Target Achieved
  

Federation Services
With the increase in the prevalence of diabetes, the need to educate the diabetes community on the effective management of diabetes and raise awareness of the condition and of the need to move to a healthier lifestyle of the wider population in Ireland is extremely important.

To achieve this, the Diabetes Federation of Ireland annually provides a range of educational workshops, forums and media campaigns. All funds donated go directly to these initiatives in 2006. Click here to learn more about the Federation.
