Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is a leading organization dedicated to funding research aimed at curing, preventing, and managing type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, requiring individuals to manage blood sugar levels through daily insulin therapy. JDRF supports scientific advancements to improve treatment options and ultimately find a cure, with a focus on innovation, advocacy, and education. Their work aims to give people with type 1 diabetes a better quality of life and, one day, prevent the disease entirely.
