Debby if you live in the states, then please write your congressperson and senators. Please ask them to support HR 1315 which resolves to create a Diabetes Working Group. Please ask them to increase NIH funding on islet transplant research from $6.5 million to $65 million.
Please donate as you can to organizations comitted to research, TIF, JDF, DRI, etc.
If you live in Canada, contact Al Gordon. He can tell you what governmental representative to write.
