About Steno
Steno Diabetes Centre, or SDC for short, is a centre that specialises in treating and managing diabetes. We have three core areas: treatment, research and education. Every year we treat around 5600 people with diabetes in our outpatient clinic.
Treatment
We treat a large number om persons with type 1 and type 2 diabetes from The Capital Region of Denmark. Treatment is both for those with newly diagnosed diabetes as well as for those with complications in relation to their illness. SDC also treats a few people from other parts of Denmark. We work together with the Endocrinology Clinic at Rigshospitalet to run the Diabetes Unit, located in Rigshospitalet. Fully integrated electronic patient medical records have been used in the clinic since 2001.
Research
Steno Diabetes Center has a long research tradition. Our research area spans from genetics and the causes of diabetes to prevention of the disease and its complications. We have more than 110 staff members working in the research area and we are involved in extensive international work.
Education
Steno Diabetes Center runs educational activities for both patients and those who treat them. We are an education centre for students from many professional areas, and we also offer further and higher education for a range of professionals. Our education unit - Steno Education Center – has extensive educational activities abroad, for example, in India and China.
