More than 1,000 people gathered at the end of February at the Millennium Hotel in downtown St. Louis for a weekend of research updates...education seminars...counseling and fun family entertainment.
The Retreat is hosted by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Metro Saint Louis/Greater Missouri Chapter and sponsored by Animas Corporation and The United Way.
JDRF leads the research agenda to slow the progression of diabetes complications in the newly diagnosed, reversing it in people who have lived with the disease for years and is moving forward to prevent the disease in people at risk and in future generations.
