I have lived with Type 1 diabetes since 1998 and have been a regular contributor to various foundations related to diabetes.  I hope my personal preferences don’t sway you in any direction as I’ve tried to provide options and not just where I would donate.  If you are interested, I mostly donate to the organizations that focus on research for a cure.  There are plenty of dollars being donated on awareness and education, but that’s not really going to solve the problem directly.  Yes, education and awareness are very important, but so is a cure that would make these two things obsolete.

Every little bit helps and don’t ever think that something is too small.  Also, if you work for a company be sure to check to see if they match donations as it doesn’t cost you anything and doubles the amount the foundation receives.
