Diabetes Scotland

Diabetes Scotland is the national office of Diabetes UK, the leading charity for people living with and at risk of diabetes in the United Kingdom. Operating as part of the British Diabetic Association, the organization provides a wide range of services including patient support, education, and advocacy for the over 300,000 people affected by diabetes in Scotland. It works in close partnership with NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government to influence healthcare policy and ensure the implementation of the Diabetes Improvement Plan. Beyond support services, Diabetes Scotland plays a crucial role in funding pioneering research into the causes, prevention, and treatment of all types of diabetes. The charity also manages a network of local support groups and provides a dedicated helpline to assist individuals in managing their condition effectively. Through its campaigns, the organization aims to raise public awareness and improve the quality of care provided to the diabetes community across the country.
