Greatest T1D Breakthroughs of 2024<\/h2>\n

As we look back on 2024, we can reflect upon the incredible progress we\u2019ve made in advancing breakthroughs toward cures and improving everyday life with type 1 diabetes<\/a> (T1D). From accelerating cell therapies to early detection of T1D to better glucose management tools, none of this would have been possible without each and every one of you and your continued support of our mission. Thank you!<\/p>\n

Introducing Project ACT: Accelerating Cell Therapies<\/h2>\n

Project ACT is a\u00a0Breakthrough T1D<\/span><\/a>\u00a0initiative to dramatically speed cell therapy products as\u00a0T1D<\/span>\u00a0cures through coordinated efforts to simultaneously advance research, development, regulatory, access, and adoption. Cell therapies could cure people with\u00a0T1D<\/span>. By safely accelerating their development more people will have access to these treatments more quickly.<\/p>\n
