You will already be an advocate for the prevention, early diagnosis and best treatments for diabetes within your country. Could you become a global champion alongside our vice-presidents and help shape our strategy and activities?
The time commitment is open to you. There will be a few emails and on-line meetings a year. For an informal chat about what’s required contact our Secretary General, Adrian Sanders.
