Type 1 Discovery magazine: Issue 101

Type 1 Discovery is our free magazine, giving you the latest news, events, features and research updates about type 1 diabetes and Breakthrough T1D three times a year.
Content last reviewed and updated: 06.11.2025

Thanks to the generosity of supporters, scientific breakthroughs are transforming what it means to live with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our latest edition is filled with inspiring stories and exciting developments.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • An exclusive interview with Annabel Steadman, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Skandar series, talking about her experience with T1D and her passion for telling inclusive stories.
  • The latest research, including a study showing that an existing drug therapy could slow the progression of T1D and innovations in developing novel insulins, which could make T1D management easier.
  • A deeper dive into the stages of T1D development and how this understanding is helping with early detection.
  • Menopause while living with T1D – Justine shares her story of navigating this stage of her life.
  • Update on teplizumab – the first ever disease-modifying therapy for T1D.
