So earlier in the week I wrote a little on my thoughts about the current funding plans of JDRF and the response discussions that had been going on last week. This morning I hopped on FaceBook for a sec and what did I find??
One of the strong cure-based research projects being undertaken by the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) . DRI is in full swing with a number of islet transplant clinical trials. ( DRI on Facebook ) This is exciting, but we need to remember to be patient. We all hope... as a Type 1, I'm right there with you. We must also remember that these are research studies and findings might not be the final answer. But, it's a strong step on the path.
