The Francophone Foundation for Diabetes Research (FFRD) serves as the “armed wing” of the Francophone Diabetes Society (SFD) with the aim of promoting excellence in diabetes research, a common disease whose prevalence continues to rise. High-level and large-scale research is truly essential to get further insight into the mechanisms involved in the development of diabetes and its complications, as well as to improve their treatment and prevention.
