There are seven Steno Diabetes Centers across Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Together, they have treated more than 30,000 people with diabetes, and benefitted thousands more through research, education and preventive interventions. The set-up and services of each centre are tailored to the specific needs of the region or country. Some focus on developing competencies and collaborations to create a better patient pathway, others on generating new knowledge or tackling health inequity in diabetes.
