The International Diabetes Federation - Europe, an EPHA member, relaunched the EU Diabetes Working Group in the European Parliament.
On 17 November 2004, at the same time as the November plenary session at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, IDF-E held the meeting ’A European Diabetes Strategy’ which aimed to bring together MEPs to focus on EU measures to improve prevention, care and management of diabetes in Europe in the context of a European diabetes strategy.
The meeting was chaired by John BOWIS, MEP (PPE-DE, UK) and Dr Wim Wientjens, President IDF-Europe and included speakers from the European Commission, IDF-Europe and Gluco-forum.
A mobile screening unit was available on site during the week of the conference.
