How the strategy was developed

In 2005, Diabetes UK conducted a public consultation to seek the views of people with diabetes and their carers, healthcare professionals, researchers and other important stakeholders about the research that Diabetes UK should fund.

All feedback on the draft strategy was considered in detail and used to form our Research Strategy.

The Research Strategy, spanning from January 2006 to December 2010, was approved by Diabetes UK’s Board of Trustees in early 2006. Consultation on the next Diabetes UK Research Strategy began in January 2010.
