From 2014 onwards, ABCD news will in future be published in the Journal of the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists, which is the relaunched for 2014 British Journal of Diabetes and Vascular Disease. Prior to 2014, ABCD produced a twice-yearly Newsletter, designed to keep members in touch with the activities of the Association and its members and to act as a forum for discussion of important and topical clinical and professional issues. Links to these historic Newsletters are given below.
