JDRF - the type 1 diabetes charity

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
