$100 Question

Back in April I asked What is a Cure? Today I'm going to ask you how you would spend money on finding a cure.


Let's pretend for a minute here that $100 will go a very long way. It is enough money to find a cure for diabetes. The question is how you split up the $100. You can spend it all on one area of research or choose to split it up in different areas of research. It is all up to you. There are no right answers.

How would I "spend" the $100? This is a hard question and my answer will probably change from time to time but I'm going to do my best to answer it now.

  • $25 for research projects like  JDRF's Artificial Pancreas Project
  • $30 on complications research. What good is a cure if I already have kidney damage, eye damage, ect?
  • $30 on immunology research
  • $15 on prevention research
How would you spend $100 to cure diabetes?
