Get InvolveD WIth JDRF In a MeanInGFul Way Companies support JDRF because we have a solid record of funding research efficiently and effectively. Approximately 80% of what we raise goes directly to research and research related education, which is among the highest percentage of charities nationwide. Also, Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) associated healthcare costs in the U.S. account for $14 billion dollars annually. What IS type 1 D IabeteS ? Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone people need to get energy from food. Living with T1D is a constant balancing act for children and adults. People with T1D must regularly monitor their blood-sugar levels, inject or continually infuse insulin through a pump, and carefully regulate insulin dose with eating and activity 24 hours a day.
