The T1D Community just lost an amazing advocate. Kent Schnakenberg raised so much awareness for T1D, and was a wonderful person. Our thoughts are with his loved ones right now, and he will truly be missed.

Exciting updates from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 🚨

Data from a Breakthrough T1D-funded clinical trial showed that 12 people are no longer injecting insulin, thanks to a new anti-rejection drug called tegoprubart.

All people involved are no longer experiencing hypoglycaemia and have not had any worrying side effects. This is an amazing update for all with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

These stories break my heart every time. I hate this disease!

Breakthrough T1D is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Madison Warner, daughter of U.S. Senator Mark Warner and Lisa Collis.

Senator Warner has been a strong supporter of Breakthrough T1D and an advocate for the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community, as Madison lived with T1D. Our thoughts are with Senator Warner, his wife, Lisa, and the entire Warner family during this very difficult time.

This is another tragic reminder that our work is not done. Breakthrough T1D will continue to fight tirelessly for cures so that no family has to experience the loss of a loved one to type 1 diabetes and its complications.
