Associazione Friulana Famiglie Diabetici ODV is a volunteer organization based in Udine, Italy, founded in 1987 by parents seeking support for their children with diabetes. The association brings together people with diabetes and their families, promoting shared experiences, participation, and mutual understanding. Its work focuses on helping members live with diabetes and learn about its management.

The organization provides educational information on diabetes, including diagnosis, prevention of complications, blood glucose monitoring, nutrition, carbohydrate counting, and related health concerns. It also offers resources tailored to children, teenagers, adults, and families, and runs a group for young people and families involved in its “Famiglie Sugarfree” project. News and events include training, opportunities for discussion, and activities connecting sport with diabetes awareness and prevention.

The association also shares information about transport concessions and relevant laws, and welcomes new members, volunteers, and supporters. Donations, including Italy’s 5×1000 contribution, help fund its projects. Based in Udine, it can be contacted by phone, email, or appointment at its office.
