Home About us Gallery Charity Sponsors Contact Register If you or someone you love has diabetes, then you know that diabetes is a devastating disease that causes so much pain and suffering. You know that diabetes robs children of the freedom and innocence of childhood; that it takes lives prematurely; and that patients worry about their future as they try to manage diabetes every minute of every day. The one thing you dream about: a cure for diabetes.Thankfully, there are many charities and organizations devoted to the care of diabetes patients and the education of the public about diabetes. But there is only one national organization solely devoted to finding a cure for diabetes: the Diabetes Research Institute.This has been our singular goal since our inception almost four decades ago. We maintain this steadfast commitment by putting the patient front and center of everything we do.With this strategy in mind, our scientists are driven by a sense of urgency and pursue only those research findings that show true potential to benefit people living with diabetes. We have pioneered new therapies to restore insulin production and reversed diabetes in patients involved in ongoing clinical trials. Our progress has truly changed the lives of those affected by diabetes.The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation plays a major role in supporting the Institute’s research programs. From providing the seed funding for jumpstarting new ideas to ensuring the continuation of promising research projects, our Foundation makes research progress possible.
