Three Stages of T1D and JDRF’s Prevention Research

California-based risk consulting firm Edward Myers & Associates, Inc., specializes in background checks and investigations. Committed to public service, Edward Myers & Associates, Inc., supports JDRF (previously the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).

JDRF counts the development of a universal type 1 diabetes (T1D) vaccine for the prevention of the chronic autoimmune disease among its areas of focus. While such a vaccine has yet to be developed, JDRF has determined that there are three stages of T1D. The first stage consists of autoimmunity with normal glucose tolerance, the second involves autoimmunity with abnormal glucose tolerance, and the final stage requires insulin therapy. Discovering and understanding the three stages lays a solid foundation for designing effective clinical trials using biomarkers that could be used in the creation of future preventive therapies.

Ultimately, JDRF seeks a solution that offers a patient-centered approach. This would allow medical professionals to coordinate personalized treatment plans for each patient. Reverse-specific bacteria changes associated with T1D are also being evaluated to determine how they can translate into a vaccine.

Edward Myers & Associates, Inc., operates in Studio City, California, and offers investigation services, risk assessment consultation, and access to multinational resources to companies in a range of industries. In business for over 15 years, Edward Myers & Associates, Inc., also possesses comprehensive strategies to address complex business and municipal fraud.

Industry reports indicate that fraud and similar violations put a significant financial strain on US businesses and municipalities, costing them over $700 billion each year.

To protect clients’ assets and combat this trend, the team at Edward Myers utilizes a team of trained personnel that focus on exposing and preventing fraud-related activities. The team takes on cases of fraudulent statements and embezzlement and works to uncover evidence that points to illegal activity, such as counterfeit disbursements, money and asset theft, and dishonest representations on expense reports and profit loss. Teams also investigate corporate and municipal corruption and suspicions of network espionage, trade-secret theft, and economic extortion.
