How is diabetes treated, and is there a cure?
Currently, there is no cure for Type 1
diabetes, but it can be treated successfully by administering insulin, either
by an injection or pump, and by following a healthy,
balanced diet and getting regular physical activity. Looking
after diabetes requires planning and attention,
which may feel
over-whelming at times, especially when your child is first diagnosed. However,
there’s no reason for it to stop your child living the healthy
, happy and successful life you had hoped for them.

Project Directory
Our research project directory showcases the
diverse and exciting array of diabetes research projects that we are supporting
all over the UK
Everything you see is possible thanks to the continued
support of our members, donors and voluntary groups – who help us decide which
studies deserve the charity's support and help raise the money that is vital to
research.
·
Ever since Diabetes UK
awarded its first research grant in 1935 (for £50), we have been one of the
largest funders of diabetes research in the UK
·
We support a wide range of pioneering initiatives into the
causes and prevention of diabetes, improvements in care and treatment and the
search for a cure.
·
·
A particular focus for 2012-13 has been our targeted research
fund, from which we have awarded five new grants that will make a difference to
people with diabetes by overcoming barriers to good diabetes care and supported
self-management.
