Virtual Visits Can Transform Care and Improve Outcomes for People with T1D
Breakthrough T1D Heads, Virtually, to ADA’s 80th Scientific Sessions
The American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 80th Scientific Sessions is almost here! From June 12-16, scientists and healthcare professionals will gather, virtually, at one of the largest conferences of diabetes researchers in the world. Breakthrough T1D-funded researchers will also be there virtually to hear first-hand and present new study results that will improve outcomes for people […]
Medtronic Panel Discusses Supporting T1D Community During COVID-19
During a recent Breakthrough T1D Facebook Live event, a panel of leaders discussed Medtronic’s efforts to support the T1D community during the pandemic.
Meet the Scientist: Local Immune Suppression with a Novel Protein
Mark Poznansky, M.D., Ph.D., wants the seemingly impossible—a person with type 1 diabetes (T1D) has a procedure where beta cells are placed in their body, the doctor stitches it up and the person has functioning insulin-producing beta cells, for life. Of course, we’re not there yet, but, with Dr. Poznansky—and many, many other researchers—Breakthrough T1D […]

Public and Private Organizations, All with the Same Goal: End T1D
In this time of great uncertainty, there is some exciting news out of Europe. Innodia, a partnership between public and private entities working together to fund research aimed at biomarker discovery and the prevention of type 1 diabetes (T1D), received an additional €12 million in funding from the European Commission, Breakthrough T1D and the Helmsley […]
Insulin Contains the Expected Quantity of Active Insulin
Credit: Diabetes Care In December 2017, the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community got a jolt, when a publication, testing the insulin concentrations in 18 vials, said that “none of the vials met the minimum labeled concentration standard.” In other words, insulin was not at the recommended dose; in fact, the percentage of insulin was around […]
A Promising (Preclinical) Vaccine for Type 1 Diabetes
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could take a vaccine in infancy, and type 1 diabetes would not develop? Preclinical research suggests it might not be that far away.
Dr. Carla Greenbaum Talks about T1D TrialNet During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Carla Greenbaum, M.D., chair of TrialNet—an international Breakthrough T1D-supported network that is dedicated to finding cures for type 1 diabetes (T1D)—and a professor at Benaroya Research Institute, discussed T1D research in the time of COVID-19, including what TrialNet is up to, on Breakthrough T1D’s Facebook Live event. She chats about: What do we know now […]
Breakthrough T1D Plays a Leadership Role, Again, to Marshal Resources for T1D Research
It’s 2004. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), which will fund $3 billion in stem cell research to advances new therapies, is on the ballot, if it gets approved. Fortunately, the patients, families and scientists were the voices that day, with nearly 60% voting to approve it. In the time since 2004, it has […]
