Welcome

Welcome to the Diabetes Center at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). 

The Diabetes Center at UCSF has one mission:  to advance the care and treatment of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes worldwide so that we may achieve the ultimate goal of bringing an end to the disease.

Our organization was born from the devastation of diabetes, the clinical and educational needs of patients, and the firm belief that scientific insights into the causes of diabetes will lead to a cure.

As we approach the end of this decade, our clinicians, educators and researchers take great pride in the advances we’ve made since the year 2000.  To celebrate these recent achievements, we’ve created a document called Millennium Milestones. 

We invite you to learn more about our research and clinical care successes, and we welcome your involvement and support as we strive to improve the quality of life for those living with diabetes.
