Governments across the world do not provide enough financial support towards diabetes research. Diabetes is a chronic, devastating disease affecting every organ system.
There are two major types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes - an autoimmune disease also known as juvenile diabetes, and Type 2 diabetes - metabolic disorder also known as adult onset diabetes. Taking insulin does not cure any type of diabetes nor prevent the possibility of its eventual and harmful effects: kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputation, heart attack, and stroke.
Million of people have diabetes; diabetes kills one American every three minutes. Sixteen million Americans have the disease; of this amount 5.4 million are undiagnosed. Diabetes afflicts 120 million people worldwide, and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that number will skyrocket to 300 million by 2025. A new case of diabetes is diagnosed every 40 seconds.
This is why it is so important for diabetes research to be funded properly. Please sign this petition so that the diabetics in the world dont have to worry if dieing at an early age. When this petition hits 50 thousand signatures it will be sent to the Governments of the world. This petition will then be sent every time it increases by 25 thousand, thank you.
