Re: Expertise in Sweden.
Unfortunately I am not aware of support in Sweden but I am pretty sure that there are doctors having experience with Dupuytren. Must be. Should you find a good one, please post his name and it will be included on the web page as well.
If you want to slow down progression, you might consider radiation therapy. Again, it ought to be available in Sweden but you will probably have to look yourself for an appropriately equipped hospital. Often university hospitals have this equipment. Dupuytren e.V. can provide literature, just send an e-mail there.
Nutrition has been discussed a lot in various forums but with not much results so far. It makes sense to avoid too much alcohol (also for other reasons ...). It might be that antioxidant ingredients help slowing down progression, like lycopene in tomatoes. Have a look at the Other therapies board on this forum. Another option might be medication like NAC, it affects a tumor growth factor (NAC is mentioned on the web site under "Other therapies").
Good luck to you and let us know when you found a good doctor!
Wolfgang
