Clare Dowling
When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I wanted to be part of a community trying to make a difference in the fight against diabetes.
Clare Dowling is a member of the Grants Advisory Panel. This is a group of people living with diabetes, and family members or carers of a person living with diabetes who review funding applications to help focus our research spending. She first joined the group back in May 2018 and continues to be an integral part of the group.
