COVID-19 and Diabetes

An insight into how the support you have given us is changing lives. Hear how our work at the DRWF Islet cell laboratories in Oxford, is making a real difference to real people this World Diabetes Day.

We are paying tribute to the late Lynwood Newman, a long-term volunteer and supporter of DRWF, going back to 2006. Sadly, he passed away early in 2021 after a short battle with cancer. We look back at his life and tremendous fundraising for the charity.

In this edition, we’re looking at the development of Metformin, which has become the preferred first-line oral blood glucose-lowering agent to manage type 2 diabetes.
