The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, now Breakthrough T1D, is founded by Lee Ducat, Carol Lurie, Erwin Lurie and a group of parents whose children have type 1 diabetes (T1D). Their conviction is clear: Through research, T1D can and will be cured. Over the next 47 years the research that Breakthrough T1D supports will change the lives of people with T1D everywhere, and will bring a cure within reach.
