Widespread Disease Diabetes

Diabetes is a widespread disease worldwide. More and more people are being affected by the metabolic disease. Studies estimate that the number of cases of diabetes in Germany will rise from the current 8.7 million to more than 12 million by 2040. With our research work at the DZD, we aim to develop innovative prevention and treatment methods to effectively prevent diabetes, treat it more effectively and even avert it entirely in future.

Comprehensive information on the current state of diabetes prevention and therapy can be found on our diabetes information portal diabinfo.de. We will provide you with news about research, clinical studies and citizen and patient involvement here.
