Just two more days and our Special Diabetes Program (SDP) conversation will be over! Don't miss your opportunity to catch up on previous conversation topics by checking out the rest of the JDRF Advocacy blog. Along the way be sure to submit our petition for Congress to renew the SDP this year and ensure we continue to speed daily progress toward a cure.
Yesterday, our conversation topic covered the DirectNet program, which is making technologies that make diabetes management easier widely available to those that need it. Today's topic, the reality of an artificial pancreas, is partly a result of DirectNet and the next natural step of pushing forward with the research the SDP has made possible. Watch Amanda's video on how SDP funded research is working to bring the artificial pancreas to our loved ones and then support the research by supporting our petition!
If you've already signed the petition then ask your family and friends to join you by sending them this link, http://bit.ly/9wQh0b, via email or sharing it on Facebook and Twitter.
Don't forget to submit the petition in support of continuing to fund type 1 diabetes research once you've watched the video!
Thanks to all of you that submitted a vote for your favorite Special Diabetes Program (SDP) funded research
