breakthroughs such as:
- Transplanting insulin-producing cells, with
proper anti-rejection medication.
- Drugs that may reduce degeneration of large blood
vessels in people with diabetes -- a cause of
many diabetic complications.
- Identifying multiple groups of genes
that lead to onset of Type I diabetes.
- Discovery of predictors of diabetes.
- Establishing how viruses may work as a
"trigger" mechanism in diabetes.
- Development of techniques for self-monitoring
of blood glucose for improved well-being in people with
diabetes.
- Perfecting strategies to prevent diabetes-caused
birth defects and early infant mortality.
- Development of laser therapy that can reduce
diabetes-caused blindness by 60 percent.
- Determining how to delay the need for kidney
dialysis and transplants by at
least 10 years.
You, too, can be a part of our search for a cure by becoming
