I strongly encourage everyone interested in winning the fight to cure type 1 diabetes to send $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 or $10 a month to
The Iacocca Foundation II
“Join Lee Now”
17 Arlington Street
Boston, MA 02116
Donations on line
Battles are not won by a single soldier on the front lines, he has 50 other soldiers behind him in all different support areas. That's why the $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 or $10 donations are so important. Yes, the nurse needs the cup of coffee your one dollar buys him or her. The $100 tool is just as important as the $5 lunch is.
If fifty thousand supporters will send $1.00 a month, this will give the The Iacocca Foundation II SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars a year to fight this child killer.
By the way, this is something close to Lee's heart, his wife died from this disease.
Please, everyone break out a check for $12 and save yourself $4.07 in the annual mailing costs. Or just click this Donations on line
Lee started The Iacocca Foundation II with his own check of $1 million. We can't match it individually, but together we sure can!
Thank you All!
Thanks for the ping. A most interesting article. It's too bad the real scientists aren't in charge of the scientific community.
In this mice, is this a "cure" or a "treatment"? I.e. is it a one shot deal, or does the drug have to be continued indefinitely to prevent a relapse?
Keep in mind that the complications that adult type 1 diabetics are running into are often caused because the way diabetes was treated when they were young is vastly different than it's treated in the young today. From what I understand the injections used to be based on a sliding scale of your age and weight, NOT based on exactly what you're eating as it is today. As a result the injections were not accurate and there were no doubt a zillion high glucose readings day after day......and it's all those spikes that add up to the complications that hit you later on.
My daughter's endocrinologist says that even in the last 5-10 years the way diabetes can be managed has changed dramatically.......and he also says he no longer tells his patients that they have it for life.
