This November – National Diabetes Month – let’s be thankful for all of the scientists, researchers and doctors who are working hard to understand, treat and prevent diabetes. And let’s make sure that Congress continues to fund the special diabetes program, which is scheduled to expire next year unless its members act to renew this year.

Thank you!

Together we raised more than $13,000 for the Joslin Diabetes Center for research, treatment and education.

There is still time to donate and please make sure to be a fan of our facebook page. See you next March!

Joslin beta cell research leads the way

Dodging Diabetes™ is thrilled Joslin Diabetes Center’s research continues to lead the way with groundbreaking discoveries like this one getting us one step closer to preventing and utlimately curing diabetes http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/175167.php

Joslin scientists led by Principal Investigator Robert Stanton, M.D., have discovered that high blood glucose levels damage a key enzyme that guards insulin-producing beta cells. Their surprising finding raises hopes of finding drugs that protect the enzyme, and thus the beta cells and their insulin production.
