Old Facts / Controversy

This article paints a bleak picture for those diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and does not cite any facts. It is well doccumented that with the proper use of insulin as prescribed by doctors, people with type 1 diabetes are at the same risk of kidney failure, blindness, and amputation as those without diabetes beginning with the 1993 publication of the Diabetes control and complications trial.

Additionally, "Juvenile Diabetes" is no longer used in the medical community, and can be considered inappropriate considering that type 1 is prevalant in adults, and type 2 is increasingly prevalant in children in the United States. MUW Fan (talk) 23:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed; it seems to be quite the controversial organization for allegedly ignoring promising treatment and cure protocols by mainstream medical researchers. See http://www.fumento.com/biotech/diabetes.html --Elvey (talk) 04:25, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion

The Autoimmunity and Complications portions of the "research" sections seem to be duplicates of the same statements, and the "complications" portions makes very little sense since it does not describe diabetes complecations.MUW Fan (talk) 23:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 12:09, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

JDRF (formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) → JDRF – The organization is now known simply as "JDRF", rather than "Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation". "Since its founding in 1970, JDRF was known as the "Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation." But today, 85% of those with T1D are no longer juveniles, they are adults. As a result the word "juvenile" is no longer descriptive of T1D or of the people and families living with the disease. Therefore, we recently dropped the formal name "Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation" from our identity and will now be known simply as JDRF. This better reflects our commitment to working with all ages and all stages of T1D, transforming lives both today and tomorrow. The brand section of the JDRF website contains more information on our name change and brand identity."

Support Article titles shouldn't contain former names of formarly known phrases. Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{WrestleMania XXVIII}_{The Undertaker 20–0} 06:36, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support And I thought JDRF (formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) was a bad title. JDRF: Improving Lives. Curing Type 1 Diabetes.?? The talk page and article page aren't even matching up. The sooner we clean that up the better. --BDD (talk) 19:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to JDRF. Someone really messed this up—moved the article but not the talk page. Yes, move this to JDRF, without the slogan. We definitely do not include an organization's slogan in the article title. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 20:26, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to change my vote, but I'm not sure how "official" this change is. I'm definitely hearing radio ads for "the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation." Could be JDRF just isn't a household name yet, but it's not quite the same situation as KFC. --BDD (talk) 01:41, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

27.2 + 30.1 doesn't equal 57.2

Cure and Prevent: JDRF funded $57.2 million (62% of its research funding) in cure therapy research, with $27.2 million going to beta cell therapies and $30.1 million going to immune therapies.

It could be rounded, but...would anyone mind double-checking the statistics? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.209.84 (talk) 13:57, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit on 11 July 2018

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Breakthrough T1D. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I would like to make an edit to the Research section of this Wikipedia page the JDRF (research is JDRF's self-stated primary mission focus) showing a year by year overview of how much money the organization spends on research. The first sentence on the JDRF “about” page quotes: “JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.” Consequently, I feel this information is both relevant and important for the community. This information can be displayed within a research spending chart or can be listed in a bullet point list. The information in the post is 100% factual, listed in JDRF’s publicly available 990-tax forms and can be sourced to JDRF itself, the IRS or to a website which aggregates the spending by year, like the JDCA.org, Guidestar.org, or Propublica.org.

I would like to disclose that I work for the JDCA, a T1D nonprofit that tracks research, research spending, and community values and priorities via ongoing surveys. I attended the NYC Wikipedia Day 2018 in January to discuss the utility of JDCA information within Wikipedia and spoke to multiple administrators and editors who said as long as the edits are 100% factual, the JDCA was a perfect source for T1D-related websites because we do very specific and detailed analysis, which is exactly what Wikipedia is looking for.
