Value proposition

Providing support, education, and information to those living with diabetes in Ireland


Diabetes Ireland (formerly Diabetes Federation of Ireland) is the National Charity for People with Diabetes in Ireland. We are dedicated to supporting and advocating for people living with Diabetes. We are working to prevent the spread of Type 2 with our Workplace Wellness programmes.

We have a team of health professionals who are strategically positioned in regional areas to ensure maximum effectiveness in all communities. Our two Care Centres, located in Dublin and Cork, offer essential preventative services for those in the low-to-moderate risk categories such as footcare, counselling, and eye screening.

Throughout Ireland, our branch network of parents and volunteers organize and support various sporting and educational events to fundraise for diabetes. Our Fundraising team collaborates with companies and individuals to generate funds for our education and prevention campaigns.

Our medical professionals write and produce informative content for the web, books, and consumer and professional magazines. They also provide expert comments on diabetes-related topics to the media in Ireland. This vital information is distributed through our website, HSE centres, GPs, and meetings.

Our advocacy team campaigns for a good and fair healthcare service in all communities and strives to eliminate discrimination against those affected by diabetes.

Our mission is to provide a high-quality service that improves the lives of people affected by diabetes. We also work with others to prevent and ultimately cure diabetes.
