Our members help us to improve lives by funding pioneering research into all forms of diabetes and its complications.
Right now, with your help, we’re funding around 120 research projects and invest £6 million into new diabetes research every year.
Our research has an incredible track-record. It’s delivered life-changing breakthroughs, from the first insulin pen to putting type 2 diabetes into remission.
Plus, our members hear about research new first in Balance magazine!
