Research and Discovery
The University of Michigan has been on the forefront of diabetes research since the early 1900s.
Its long and impressive history has made it a nationally recognized institution
on the study and management of the disease. Today, the Michigan Comprehensive
Diabetes Center is making huge strides in solving the mystery of diabetes
and its origins– with one goal in mind– to find a cure.
