Many young people are diagnosed with diabetes, an irreversible disease that affects otherwise healthy people. The day-to-day care that diabetes requires is something that poses life-long challenges for those diagnosed.
At IMRIC and the University of Alberta, research is being done to provide radical new treatment for those suffering from diabetes so that their lives will no longer be controlled by this distressing disease.
