A revamped Diabetes Voice will be released this month, featuring a new layout and special sections.
One of the new sections will feature a “Diabetes Champion”. Each edition will highlight high-profile individuals from all walks of life who haven’t let their diabetes diagnosis stand in the way of their goals and achievements. The June edition of Diabetes Voice will profile US Olympic cross-country skier Kris Freeman, who has type 1 diabetes. “The Global Campaign” is another new, in-depth section highlighting a variety of important issues, with the June edition focussing on non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The new Diabetes Voice will be officially launched at the 70th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in Orlando, Florida on 25 June, 2010.

2235 0 Diabetes associations team up to benefit Life for a Child
Up to 70 children with diabetes are set to benefit from a new collaboration between the Luxembourg Diabetes Association (Association Luxembourgeoise du Diabète - ALD) and the Malian Diabetes Association (Association Malienne de Lutte contre le Diabète) - two national member associations of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).
Following successful talks at the World Diabetes Congress in Montreal in October last year, ALD will provide funding to cover the cost of diabetes care for children with diabetes living in Mali throughout 2010 as part of the IDF Life for a Child Program.
This is the latest example of IDF member associations joining forces as a means of achieving a common goal, and signals the ongoing importance of association twinning under the umbrella of IDF.
“It is marvellous to see that member associations are forming these relationships as a way of benefiting those in need of diabetes care,” said IDF President Jean Claude Mbanya. “Examples of twinning such as this signify a strong and active global diabetes community intent on making a difference.”
Christiane Meynen of ALD echoed the President’s thoughts, describing the new affiliation as “a strong signal but also a great opportunity for the 70 children living in one of the poorest nations in the world who will benefit from an optimized care and better self care due to the spread of information and education”.
Plans are already underway to provide member associations with a special section on the IDF website as a means of introducing organizations to each other. It is hoped that such a facility will strengthen programmes such as Life for a Child, an initiative that is currently helping 3,600 children with diabetes in 22 countries.
