Diabetes

Academic excellence
Scotland has a world class reputation for its diabetes research with Dundee University having a specialised 5* rated unit and some of the finest researchers in the world.

Access to clinical expertise
Disease registers in diabetes, renal disease, stroke, child health, mental health and many others have grown from local initiatives into national commodities. The DARTS database originally developed in Tayside now includes data from some 150,000 diabetics across Scotland. Information on diabetes care is linked to health records for studies of drug safety, epidemiology and patient management.

Scotland is therefore an ideal location to conduct clinical trials.
