A Message from the MCDC Director
Thank you for visiting the Michigan Comprehensive Diabetes Center Web site. Currently, one in ten people in the state of Michigan has diabetes. With these astonishing statistics, many people - state and nationwide - visit our Web site each day in pursuit of information, guidance and hope.
This site was designed to provide you with an overview of the MCDC structure and a snapshot of things that are happening in the Center at any moment in time. We plan to update our articles and profiles at least quarterly to keep you informed of our latest developments.
The MCDC is a relatively new entity, bringing scientists, clinical researchers, physicians and you together in a partnership to treat and even cure diabetes. Your interest and involvement is critical to our success.
To those who have already supported us, thank you - without your generosity we could not continue our fight. If you are thinking of making a contribution, please visit our How to Give page of our web site. The University of Michigan guarantees the security and confidentiality of the information you provide.
We hope you find this web site useful and are grateful to have you on board.
Thank you and be well!
Peter Arvan, M.D., Ph.D.
Director, MCDC
