Diabetes Activities in Japan

• The Staged Diabetes Management (SDM) program, which BD in Japan has supported for 13 years, helps to educate healthcare professionals across Japan on diabetes care and management.

As of 2007, 13 SDM study groups exist in Japan which facilitate and promote the collaboration between hospitals and clinics. BD in Japan currently provides educational support for study groups and doctors.
