There are two parts to that answer. There was almost $6 million spent through CIHR on diabetes research, of which very little went to type 1. Basically, type 1 is an auto-immune disease that is not preventable. Type 2, the one we're most familiar with, is preventable and treatable. Type 3, which occurs much less often, is called gestational diabetes, during pregnancy.
As for the money for research on type 1 diabetes, not very much of it comes from the Government of Canada.
