What We Do
Founded in 1970 by families whose loved ones had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D), Breakthrough T1D is a tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. As the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization, we help make everyday life better while driving toward cures. We are opening doors that were once closed by T1D diagnosis. We lead the way to more effective solutions by connecting the brightest minds to advance treatments, influence policy, and improve access to care. By driving innovation forward, we will make T1D a thing of the past.
Interesting Info
- In 2022, the first ever disease-modifying therapy is approved to delay T1D. Learn the importance of T1D early detection at breakthrought1d.org/early-detection.
- As of June 2024, there are 20+ cures therapies (disease-modifying + cell therapies) in phase I, II, or III human clinical trials.
- Our outreach and community engagement efforts include, Outreach Ambassador program, library of resources, and events for education and connection.
