DAWN Youth

What is DAWN Youth?
DAWN Youth is a new global programme that has been created to explore the attitudes, wishes and needs of young people affected by diabetes and their families. It is our hope that the findings and activities of this programme will guide the wider diabetes community to address the unmet needs of young people with diabetes, their families, peers and healthcare professionals and will also uncover viable solutions to ensure all children and youth with this disease receive the best care and support.

Working in partnership
DAWN Youth is a global Novo Nordisk initiative in partnership with IDF, ISPAD, world leading organizations and experts in childhood diabetes. DAWN Youth will build upon the global IDF Youth Charter being finalised as part of the IDF-led Unite for Diabetes campaign. It is the hope that DAWN Youth should be a catalyst to move from charter to change. For information about the UN Resolution access website here.
