The Next Discovery in Diabetes Research
While COVID-19 is given our utmost attention during this time, the fight against diabetes doesn’t stop. In fact, people who are living with diabetes are at an increased risk of serious outcomes if they get COVID-19. Supporting high-quality care and improving the lives of people with diabetes is critical—especially during times like this. And it all starts with funding cutting-edge research.
I’d like to introduce you to one of the powerhouse researchers who is dedicated to finding the next breakthrough in diabetes research. Dr. Laura Cristina Alonso’s work is focused on regenerating insulin-producing beta cells to replace those that are lost in diabetes as a way to prevent or treat diabetes. Her fight is personal: Dr. Alonso’s grandmother suffered from diabetes, and her family saw first-hand how diabetes can affect a loved one.
Researchers like Dr. Laura Cristina Alonso are working towards a future where diabetes is no longer a burden to millions. Thanks to generous supporters like you, the American Diabetes Association® can be at the forefront of diabetes research. When you donate to the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation®, you bring hope to people living with diabetes. Please consider donating today, where your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000, thanks to our friends at the Amaranth Diabetes Foundation.
