With your continued support, we move closer to curing T1D every day. JDRF is the leading international nonprofit fighting to cure type 1 diabetes T1D while also helping those with T1D live healthy lives today. Supported by hundreds of thousands of donors, JDRF raises, invests and drives more funds to T1D research than any organization in the world. As a result, JDRF has played a key role in major T1D advances — drug, device, cell research — that have improved lives and brought us closer to our ultimate goal of a cure.
JDRF is mission-driven and serves as an aggressive advocate and educational support for the T1D community. JDRF has staff and volunteers across the United States, has five international affiliates, funds research in more than 20 countries and supports insulin-aid efforts in the U.
Visit jdrf. Corporate Honoree. Shortly after, we rushed to the hospital. That set me on a different trajectory. I realized that my life was under my control, and as I turned 9, 10, and into my teenage years, I learned how Type 1 diabetes was an asset to me. It made me take responsibility for my health. It made me become more analytical, always calculating insulin dosages and counting carbs.
It spurred my interest in technology, as I become the first teenager in the world to test a new insulin pump. Each year as a child, I went door to door collecting donations. As a teenager, I profiled the important work being done to advance diabetes technology on my cable access TV show. Decades later, diabetes has nearly faded into my subconscious, with sensors that constantly read my glucose and insulin pumps that automatically deliver the right doses to keep my readings constant.
We rushed from one side of the ICU to the other as both boys were critically ill. Seventeen months later, our daughter Charlotte was diagnosed. We now had three children with the disease that demanded hour-by-hour attention. This often-invisible disease forced us into unknown territory, allowing no learning curve, no break to regroup, and never a day off. And we are asking you to do the same.
But Cameron, Davis, Charlotte, and millions of people like them live in a day-to-day, minute-to-minute balancing act that has serious short- and long-term complications. Too much insulin is deadly. Too little insulin brings the risk of long-term complications.
