International Contacts

The Finnish Diabetes Association maintains international contacts to keep in touch with diabetes research and recent developments in diabetes care, to learn about new ideas and experiences applicable to its own activities and to be able to help people with diabetes in other countries.

The Association is a member of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and is active in its regional organization for Europe (IDF Europe).

The Nordic diabetes associations hold a Collaboration Event annually, with the individual associations taking turns as host. In addition, the managing directors of the associations come together at a Nordic Managers' Meeting.
