Strategic Forum

Disease Modifying Therapies


Background

As scientific understanding of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes continues to evolve, disease modifying treatments - which affect the underlying pathophysiology - have the potential to prevent, delay, slow or reverse the progression of diabetes. However, realising the potential of these treatments requires defining the diabetes community’s aspiration for the future of diabetes treatment and care, and identifying the policy barriers which will limit their uptake to ensure the continued unmet needs facing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients are recognised and prioritised by policymakers. 

Objectives & Directions for Solutions

This strategic forum will seek to unite the diabetes community behind a shared vision for the future of treatment and care in order to drive policy change which will enable the effective uptake of these treatments over the coming years.

 

The recommendations are currently in development.
