Fellow Bimmerposters, I need your help for this great cause supporting groundbreaking research against cancer and diabetes.

The Samuel Rahbar Project

Samuel Rahbar, M.D., Ph.D, dedicated his career to researching the causes and treatments of diabetes and cancer. His discovery of Hemoglobin A1c revolutionized the way diabetes is treated and managed and has improved the lives of tens of millions of diabetic patients around the world. The Hemoglobin A1c test is now ordered over 2.1 million times daily around the world and is regarded as the gold standard for assessing long-term blood sugar levels. With this discovery, he also established an entirely new field of diabetes research called glycation. Throughout his life, he was passionately committed to the pursuit of finding better treatments for patients coping with diabetes and its complications.

In his later work, he explored the link between cancer and diabetes. One of his most promising breakthroughs is the drug COH-SR4 that has been shown to have great promise as a chemotherapeutic agent for colon, brain, ovarian, breast, prostate, and kidney cancer, as well as leukemia, osteosarcoma (bone cancer), and obesity. Despite his untimely passing in 2012, efforts are being made to ensure that his research and clinical trials of COH-SR4 continue at the City of Hope clinical and research facility.

Your support today will enhance Dr. Rahbar’s legacy and allow City of Hope to continue its research into new therapies and treatments for patients everywhere suffering from these life-threatening diseases.

Thank you for the support!! I appreciate it!

A1c testing has made a big change in my life over the years.

The addition I wish they had on it was including a standard deviation from the 3-month average. It's great that I'm in the 7.2-7.4 range, but I KNOW I still have these wild swings sometimes, and I can't get that info to the Dr.

It's responses like these that drive us to support and fund raise for this research. My grandfather would have loved to hear these first hand testaments, and the affects A1c has had on your lives. I appreciate the continued support!
