Meet Safwan, one of our incredible Youth Ambassadors.

Living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) himself, Safwan is passionate about supporting others in the T1D community. He recently volunteered at our Information Hub, where he shared his own experience to support other young people and families. And he inspired our crowds and kept them going as Lead Walker at last month’s One Walk Manchester! 💪

“My younger sister also has T1D and through this organisation I am able to volunteer at events alongside other young adults and support the T1D family.” - Safwan

This Volunteers' Week, we’re celebrating people like Safwan. ✨

We’re thrilled to share that the Steve Morgan Foundation has donated £280,000 to expand Coping with Diabetes, the psychological and wellbeing support tool for children and young people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). 💙

Co-created with @DigiBeteUK, the free to access tool brings together films, animations and interactive activities to help young people understand and manage the emotional impact of the condition.

Research shows that young people living with T1D have a higher chance of developing mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression and diabetes distress. Thanks to this incredible investment, we can reach even more young people with personalised, life-changing support when they need it most.

We’re aware of recent media coverage and social discussion around access to hybrid closed loop (HCL) in Scotland.

We recognise the concern this is causing, particularly in light of reports about delays or stopped starts. We are in direct conversation with key stakeholders to establish the facts and ensure there is a clear understanding of what is happening in practice.

Access to diabetes technology is not optional. It matters. The progress made on HCL in Scotland must be protected.

An appeal to @ScotGovFM @AConstance23 @theSNP to kindly reconsider the decision around funding for #T1Diabetes and #Technology 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We are happy to share data from across @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk re data, impact and benefits 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We cannot and should not have variable care across the 4 countries 🇬🇧

Thank you for considering please 🙏🏽

We were extremely honoured to be invited to this year’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, held by our President, Her Majesty The Queen.

In attendance representing Breakthrough T1D were @parthnarendran and Niro Narendran, Tim Tree and his son, and our supporters Clare and Tony. You may recognise Parth, Tim, Clare and Tony from our BBC Lifeline Appeal earlier this year, where they so generously shared their personal experiences of type 1 diabetes and the impact of our research to date.

Our sincere thanks to Buckingham Palace and to Her Majesty for this very special privilege. 💙

Just seen a 'contract' issued by a #NHS team to a child with #T1Diabetes- that to keep their Insulin Pump- you must have 70% Time In Range.

Firstly? It's illegal to do so
Secondly? That's not even clinically logical
Importantly? Healthcare is about humanity

For clarity- this is NOT an ask from @NHSEngland

Just a reminder -at this stage.

Please don't do silly things.

Also...am still around.

Thanks.

We were delighted to win a Long Term Impact Award at the SMF 25th Anniversary Dinner last night, recognising the contribution of Breakthrough T1D and DUK to the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge.

A very special moment, and a reminder of what can happen when passionate people come together behind a shared mission. 🤝

Grateful to everyone who is helping to make it possible. The work continues. 💙

There exists NO gap based on ethnicity and deprivation as regards access to Continuous Glucose Monitors in #T1Diabetes @NHSEngland

The subsequent roll out of Hybrid Closed Loop in #T1D has continued to follow the same trend- appropriately using money for 1st 2 years in a 5 year implementation plan.

Implementation of a @NICEComms TA - at scale- tackling gaps

With money ring fenced for next 3 years to enable further uptake across eligible population

And improvement in health outcomes at a population level as per national audits

I repeat- it can be done. Within this #NHS

Yet- most are not willing to do the hard yards needed to make it happen.

And are too busy compromising in the quest for some 'bigger picture'

Through your funding for the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge, you’re helping to bring real hope to people living with type 1 diabetes - and driving progress towards better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference, both within the type 1 diabetes community and far beyond. We’re excited about what the future holds and the progress still to come. 💙

Still not over it. 🤩

On Friday night, we put on our blue BreakthroughT1D t-shirts and joined EE72 to see our logo and mission displayed on Europe’s largest digital canvas in Piccadilly Circus. 📸

A huge thank you to @Edward_Enninful, Akua Enninful and Kate Moss for putting type 1 diabetes (T1D) centre stage alongside your beautiful film, captured by the legendary Nick Knight. T1D is a relentless and misunderstood condition, often managed in silence. Thank you for helping make it visible.💙

EE72 has launched a limited-edition A2 poster of the Spring 2026 cover of 72. All profits from the sales of the poster are going to Breakthrought1d.
