“The CDP is a global network of scientists, physicians, engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, molecular biologists and researchers who have come together with one common goal – see what putting our heads together can accomplish toward the elusive goal of curing diabetes. ”

With advances in islet cell transplantation, researchers are successfully replacing defective insulin producing cells called islets, with healthy islets cells from a human donor. Clinical trials in Type 1 diabetics are proving successful. Most recipients are insulin-free within a few weeks following the procedure. Many recipients maintain insulin independence and normal glucose tolerance for years following the procedure.
Your contribution will help doctors and scientists all over the world to bring an end to diabetes of all types. Together we can brighten the lives of people across the globe.
