The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), originally named the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Disease, has been the national bastion of diabetes research for longer than most of the readership of Diabetes Care and Diabetes can recall. Founded in 1950, this year NIDDK celebrates its 75th year, a lifetime over which it has contributed to innumerable discoveries that have improved the health of millions of Americans, especially those with diabetes. In the July issues of the two journals, we recognize, highlight, and celebrate some of the accomplishments that exemplify the role NIDDK has played over the past 75 years for the benefit of the public’s health.
