JDRF Asks For Public Support In November!

JDRF, the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, is proud to celebrate National Diabetes Awareness Month this November in honor of the millions of people throughout the world living with all types of diabetes.  National Diabetes Awareness Month is a month-long series of activities aimed at raising diabetes awareness and calling for urgent action to tackle the global diabetes epidemic, included in those activities are T1Day on November 1 and World Diabetes Day (WDD) on November 14.

Type 1 diabetes affects both children and adults at any age.  Each year, more than 15, 000 children and 15,000 adults – approximately 80 people per day – are diagnosed with T1D in the U.S.  It comes on suddenly, causes dependence on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications.

During the month of November, the public is asked to support JDRF and its ongoing efforts to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D.
