WEBINAR: Your Impact. Our Breakthroughs: The Past, Present & Future of T1D

Join us for a virtual, real-life conversation about type 1 diabetes (T1D) with Dr. Shara Bialo as we celebrate the extraordinary progress in T1D technology, research, and innovation that has transformed lives across generations.

Through both personal experience and professional expertise, Dr. Bialo brings authenticity to a story that spans decades of scientific advancement. What once meant living with constant uncertainty and limited treatment options has evolved into an era of continuous glucose monitors, advanced insulin pumps, automated insulin delivery systems, and groundbreaking research moving the world closer to cures.

This progress is only possible because of the passion, advocacy, and fundraising efforts of the Breakthrough T1D community. Every participant, partnership, and dollar raised helps accelerate critical research, expand access to life-changing innovations, and create momentum toward a future where type 1 diabetes no longer exists.

Together, we’re not only funding breakthroughs — we’re witnessing them in real time!
