Being the first university established diabetes centre in Hong Kong, the Centre has benefited over 21,000 people with or at risk of having diabetes through the following evidence-based comprehensive assessment services and education programmes to complement medical care in the community since its inception in 2007:
• Diabetes Prediction and Diagnosis Service
• Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
• Diabetic Complications Assessment

The Centre strives to fill the service gap between the public and private health care settings and to establish a novel diabetes care model in providing informational and ongoing support to both doctors and patients for timely and personalized diabetes care. The Centre is currently registered as a healthcare service provider of the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme with the Government of the HKSAR.
