Early detection of type 1 diabetes on the health policy agenda

Client
Alliancen for T1Dlig Opsporing
A new opportunity to detect type 1 diabetes earlier had the potential to change thousands of people's lives. But without political action, that potential would never be realized. Together with the Alliance for Early Detection of T1D, we helped gather the right actors, create a shared direction, and elevate the agenda right into the political engine room.

Challenge
Some agendas deserve more attention.
Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong disease that often affects children and young people. Today, around 36,000 Danes live with the disease, and research has created new opportunities to detect the disease earlier and delay its development.
But a new medical option does not create change in itself.
It requires researchers, patient associations, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers to move in the same direction. There was a lack of a common voice, a clear strategy, and a unified agenda that could translate professional knowledge into political action.
This became the starting point for our work.

Solution
At Forte Advice, we believe that the most important societal changes begin with a strong agenda.
That is why, since the beginning, we have served as strategic advisor and secretariat for the Alliance for Early Detection of T1D (Alliancen for T1Dlig Opsporing). Our task has been to unite actors with diverse interests around one common ambition: to make the early detection of type 1 diabetes a national health policy priority.
Together, we developed a shared narrative, policy recommendations, and a long-term public affairs strategy that made complex research relevant and understandable for decision-makers.
The strategy was translated into action through targeted stakeholder management, political dialogue, and activation. This included a hearing in the European Parliament, round-table discussions with key decision-makers, and field visits where politicians experienced the challenges first-hand.
We did not just work to raise awareness. We worked to build momentum around an agenda that can improve the lives of people with type 1 diabetes.
