The Diabetes Care Trust is a charity that supports the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists. As an important part of its charitable role it provides grants to support projects that are likely to benefit people with diabetes, particularly by improving their understanding of their own condition and by advancing the education of medical and other health professionals involved with the care of those with diabetes. The Diabetes Care Trust also supports clinical research aimed at making direct improvements in the care and wellbeing of people with diabetes, as well as the audit and scrutiny of treatments and technology for people with diabetes. Grants are available for any suitable project, not just to members of the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists.
