About Breakthrough T1D
Breakthrough T1D is the leader in research leading to a cure for T1D in the world. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide.
The mission of Breakthrough T1D is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump ““ each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its potential and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke and amputation.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with T1D, Breakthrough T1D has awarded more than $1.5 billion to diabetes research, including $107 million last year. More than 80 percent of Breakthrough T1D’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education.
