Across the world great strides are being made increasing awareness of diabetes and its comorbidities with some of the most effective actions being taken where cross-party groups operate. PDGN exists to help form such groups and to support them, as well as to assist the advocacy of elected politicians working alone. PDGN members can tap into a network of elected advocates who may be able to help you be even more effective or to help you start or grow a diabetes group in your legislature.
