About us
At JDRF we are committed to eradicating type 1 diabetes. JDRF research has led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment and is laying the foundations for a cure. We support everyone living with type 1 diabetes, by working with policy makers to increase availability of treatments and by providing information and resources to help people manage their condition.
JDRF’s vision is a world without type 1 diabetes
To achieve our mission of eradicating type 1 diabetes and its effects for people in the UK we:
- Drive research to cure, treat and prevent type 1
- Accelerate access to type 1 treatment technologies and medicines
- Support people living with type 1
Through our international JDRF network, our funding of UK researchers, our advocacy work with the NHS and the support we provide to people with type 1, we know that we can push new boundaries and generate unprecedented progress in the next few years to prevent, treat and ultimately find cures for type 1 diabetes.
