JDRF Research
dlife is a proud partner of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with juvenile diabetes a disease that strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $800 million to diabetes research worldwide. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and education about research. JDRF's mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.
