What We Can Be Proud of in 2022 – Thank you for helping us move our mission forward!
As we come to the end of the year, we observe the history-making impact that supporters like you helped make in type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy. From the FDA approval of the first disease-modifying therapy Tzield™ (teplizumab-mzwv) for use in delaying the onset of T1D, to our partnership with Civica and manufacturing low-cost insulin, to advancements made by Vertex in stem cell-based therapies, to the first-of-its-kind T1D Index tool for tracking the disease worldwide, there is much to celebrate.
