Research has transformed the way we treat type 1 diabetes, dramatically improving insulin delivery and blood glucose management, but we still have a long way to go. Our cure research will give people with type 1 the ability to make their own insulin again while our treatment research aims to keep people as healthy as possible until a cure is found. Furthermore, our research on preventing type 1 would mean lifting the burden of this condition from future generations.
We are funding research on many cutting-edge projects at world-class institutions led by renowned scientists. Sign up to run for Breakthrough T1D UK and help to continue to make this happen.
