Message from the President
“The Austrian Diabetes Association regards IDF as the most important international player for people with diabetes. We carefully follow ideas and projects on a global level and try to learn from them. Being a proactive organisation ourselves, we try to bring IDF projects to the national level. We think that we need to change our society and the detrimental environment to improve the quality of living for people with diabetes. Together with our government, we are working on a national diabetes strategy for the coming years.”
