The Islet Foundation
For the last thirty years, research at universities and private labs has moved slowly toward achieving a cure for insulin-dependent diabetes. The Islet Foundation (TIF) is dedicated to supporting the final push for that research effort, a push that may provide a safe and viable cure for millions of diabetics. The Islet Foundation focuses its resources to advance one specific line of research from the laboratory to human trials and, ultimately, to a routine cure for insulin-dependent diabetes. Rather than spread its resources among many diabetic management and research initiatives, TIF is betting on a single body of research, one which many researchers feel is the most likely to result in a near-term cure.

Closing In On Diabetes Cure?
Type 1 Diabetes is a disease that destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, known as islet cells. Now doctors are transplanting islet cells from a donor pancreas to provide a cure for some patients, The Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay reports.

Cell Transplants Can Cure Diabetes, But Drawbacks Abound
Type 1 diabetes afflicts more than one million Americans. It is the most severe form of the disease, in which the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells required to keep blood sugar at normal levels. Extremely low blood sugar can result in seizures, impaired cognition, or unconsciousness and in the most severe diabetics the complications are not well controlled by insulin.
