The mission of ADEA is to support, promote and empower our members, and to lead and advocate for best practice, person-centred diabetes education and care.

ADEA stands for professionalism, innovation, relevance and personalisation in all that we do. We recognise the rights of those affected by the risk of diabetes, their carers, and their families, and always act to meet individual needs and concerns.

Our vision is to transform lives through excellence in diabetes education.
