Our research projects

We fund world-class diabetes research

At any one time, we have around 120 diabetes research projects making discoveries across the UK. Each of these research projects is only possible thanks to the generous support of our members, donors and local groups

Every research project is reviewed by experts and approved by our research committee and our panel of people living with diabetes. So you're supporting diabetes research of the highest scientific quality, led by researchers with the skills and experience to succeed.

Your support of our research projects means we can keep tackling the complications of diabetes and bring us one step closer to a cure.

If you'd like to donate to a specific research project, you can do so under our Donate to a discovery scheme. Choose a project by exploring the filters below.

Project Summary

Type 1 diabetes affects cells in the pancreas that protect against dangerous low blood sugar levels (hypos). Dr Thomas Hill will uncover why these cells stop working and test existing drugs that could restore the body’s natural defence against hypos. This could make insulin treatment safer and help people with type 1 diabetes avoid the dangers and daily challenges caused by hypos.
