Clinical Trial Research for Diabetes Medication

By Ann Bartlett, Health Guide Monday, November 02, 2009

 

My father's JDRF responsibility in the 1970s was to bring researchers from around the world together to work toward a common goal of better diabetes management and a cure.  Back then, breakthroughs were the development of the blood glucose meter, smaller gauged syringes and the thought that a cure for diabetes would come if they could develop a vaccine for Coxsackie B4 virus.  If my father were alive to see all of this, he would be speechless from that crazy feeling of HOPE!
