Dear Researcher: Until you have taken the time to know me, you cannot call me friend. However, as an Insulin Dependant Diabetic who has genuine concern for the disease, and the society it impacts, I feel it necessary to address your post. Dear Friend: – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Your family can make a difference! Diabetes researchers need your family to participate to help vital research projects. The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International is cooperating in a joint effort with the National Disease Research Interchange to make available a new resource for diabetes research, the Human Biological Data Interchange. We need to identify families who will help research. Knowledge from your immediate family can help to move diabetes research to new levels, to new answers, to new therapies and perhaps a cure. Families needed are those with one diabetic member or more. In addition, families with twins are tremendously important to genetic and immunologic studies now ongoing. Of special interest is the incidence of other diseases in your family in addition to diabetes such as Thyroiditis, Renal Disease, Crohn’s Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Lupus, etc. Won’t you help? This could be your biggest contribution toward a cure for diabetes. We assure you that all information will be held confidential and all family information will be coded and anonymous.
