Two years ago at the International Diabetes Federation?s World Congress the Young Leaders in Diabetes Programme was launched. This programme hoped to find the future leaders in diabetes advocacy from around the world, with 68 young leaders from across 48 different countries attending. The representative sent for the UK was previous Diabetes UK London Volunteer Development Officer, Alex Silverstein. Whilst attending, Alex was not only elected as the first ever President of this programme, but was also tasked with delivering a two year project to support people with diabetes in partnership with Diabetes UK. This project was the Young Leaders Action Group.
