Breakthrough T1D is the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization dedicated to making life better for those affected by T1D while working toward a cure.

ABOUT TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D)
T1D is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, leading to a lifelong dependence on insulin therapy. It can cause serious health complications, including kidney, nerve, and heart damage. While commonly associated with childhood diagnosis, 50% of T1D cases occur in adults. The disease has no known cure, and its causes are believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
