Matt Jakubowski from JDRF spoke to the Rotary Club of Prior Lake about diabetes and JDRF. Matt spoke about the two types of diabetes - type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). JDRF's mission is to cure T1D. T1D prevents the pancreas from making insulin.The Walk to Cure Diabetes is the main funding mechanism. JDRF raises about $110 million annually, and $.84 of every dollar raised goes directly to research.
