JDRF’s (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) research mission is to discover, develop and deliver advances that cure, better treat and prevent type 1 diabetes (T1D). Type 1 diabetes in children is a condition in which your child's pancreas no longer produces the insulin your child needs to survive, and you'll need to replace the missing insulin.
