Donate now to help cure & prevent Diabetes with the American Diabetes Association
If you or one of your loved ones has diabetes, you know how vital it is to find cure and identify improved treatments.
Research supported by the Association has made progress on a number of fronts…
- Researchers successfully performed a pancreatic islet transplantation to a woman with insulin-dependent diabetes. Three weeks later, she no longer needed supplemental insulin.
- Investigators discovered that patients’ genetic make-up may affect how well they respond to certain drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes. This may allow doctors to predict which patients will respond better to different treatment options.
More research is needed to follow-up on these encouraging results, but these studies are proof that we are getting closer to our goal of ending diabetes as a life-threatening disease.
We need your help to continue this vital research. Please consider giving a gift today.*
