With your help, we are moving research from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside, translating scientific advances into longer, healthier lives for those with diabetes. Mary Tyler Moore International Chairman Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation , the world's leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research, was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with juvenile diabetes - a disease which strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. We are proud to say that 85 cents of every dollar goes directly to research and education about research.
