Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation

Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation (Diabetes Action) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of diabetes through research, education, and direct assistance. Founded in 1990, the foundation specializes in providing seed grants to independent investigators for innovative research into both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. A distinguishing feature of the organization is its support for research into complementary and alternative medicine, including nutritional and herbal therapies that are often overlooked by traditional funding sources. In addition to its research initiatives, Diabetes Action provides essential medical supplies and insulin to underserved populations globally and offers extensive educational resources for diabetes management. The foundation's holistic approach aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific discovery and practical patient care.
