JDRF is the leading global charity funding type 1 diabetes research. We understand the daily challenges that life with type 1 brings, which is why we’re also committed to providing information, support and community for everyone living with the condition.

We focus on three things:

· We invest in world-class research to find a cure faster and to improve treatments and prevention until that day arrives.

· We campaign for better treatments, including providing access to type 1 technology for everyone who wants to use it.

· We provide information and support and connect people living with type 1 diabetes.

We provide free resources, information and community events to help your patients living with type 1 to manage their condition well.

For example, KIDSAC helps parents and their children to deal with their type 1 diagnosis. Along with information leaflets, KIDSAC also contains Rufus the bear who lives with type 1 and has felt patches to help children practice injection technique and finger pricks.

If an adult has just been newly diagnosed with type 1, we offer a handy toolkit to give them the information they need to manage their condition.

Other resources include a free pack and online learning module for schools to support young people with type 1 and leaflets to help explain the condition to friends and family.

Whether someone has been newly diagnosed or lived with type 1 for years, we provide information and support to help manage this relentless condition and connect with others.
