Talk:JDRF

message: This article paints a bleak picture for those diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and does not cite any facts.  It is well doccumented that with the proper use of insulin as prescribed by doctors, people with type 1 diabetes are at the same risk of kidney failure, blindness, and amputation as those without diabetes beginning with the 1993 publication of the Diabetes control and complications trial. 
Additionally, "Juvenile Diabetes" is no longer used in the medical community, and can be considered inappropriate considering that type 1 is prevalant in adults, and type 2 is increasingly prevalant in children in the United States.  MUW Fan (talk) 23:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed; it seems to be quite the controversial organization for allegedly ignoring promising treatment and cure protocols by mainstream medical researchers.  See http://www.fumento.com/biotech/diabetes.html --Elvey (talk) 04:25, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Old Facts / Controversy

message: The Autoimmunity and Complications portions of the "research" sections seem to be duplicates of the same statements, and the "complications" portions makes very little sense since it does not describe diabetes complecations.MUW Fan (talk) 23:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Confusion

message: Cure and Prevent: JDRF funded $57.2 million (62% of its research funding) in cure therapy research, with $27.2 million going to beta cell therapies and $30.1 million going to immune therapies.
It could be rounded, but...would anyone mind double-checking the statistics? Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.209.84 (talk) 13:57, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I would like to make an edit to the Research section of this Wikipedia page the JDRF (research is JDRF's self-stated primary mission focus) showing a year by year overview of how much money the organization spends on research. The first sentence on the JDRF “about” page quotes: “JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.” Consequently, I feel this information is both relevant and important for the community. This information can be displayed within a research spending chart or can be listed in a bullet point list. The information in the post is 100% factual, listed in JDRF’s publicly available 990-tax forms and can be sourced to JDRF itself, the IRS or to a website which aggregates the spending by year, like the JDCA.org, Guidestar.org, or Propublica.org. 
I would like to disclose that I work for the JDCA, a T1D nonprofit that tracks research, research spending, and community values and priorities via ongoing surveys. I attended the NYC Wikipedia Day 2018 in January to discuss the utility of JDCA information within Wikipedia and spoke to multiple administrators and editors who said as long as the edits are 100% factual, the JDCA was a perfect source for T1D-related websites because we do very specific and detailed analysis, which is exactly what Wikipedia is looking for.

replies: text: When you do this, you need to propose the exact content you would like to add to this page, formatted just like you would put it in the article. Would you please do that? Thanks. 21:22, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
