About us

The Diabetes Research Network provides support to researchers investigating the causes and treatment of diabetes. We also encourage patients and the public to get involved in the work and research of the network.

We’re one of eight local research networks across England which specialise in supporting local diabetes research. We cover six counties (see map above) with a population of 5.7 million people.

The Diabetes Research Network is part of the National Institute for Health Research, the research arm of the NHS.
