An organization for people who live with diabetes every day.
DRWF is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to help find the cure for diabetes and until that goal is achieved, to provide the care needed to combat the detrimental and life-threatening complications of this terrible disease. Since our inception in 1993 we have awarded more than $25 million in research and educational grants for the cure to world-renowned clinics, hospitals and institutions.

In Memory of Richard R. Rubin, PhD, CDE, Author, Friend
It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of a great friend and
contributor to the Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation. We at DRWF were most fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Richard Rubin for many years. Through his articles he shared his great wisdom and passion … helping those living with diabetes as well as their caregivers. Dr.Rubin touched many lives through his research, his writing, his counseling, and through his presentations. He recognized that it wasn’t only the person living with diabetes who was impacted by the disease, but family and friends as well.
DRWF considers Dr. Rubin to be one of the great men in diabetes; he will be sorely missed.
