80% of people in Ireland with diabetes say they’ve faced stigma. Many skip care or hide their diagnosis.
Abbott’s Above the Bias film shows why words matter—and how support can change lives.

🔊Sound on!🔊

We're excited to introduce our new film, ‘What a cure feels like’, celebrating our transformation to Breakthrough T1D!

The film features real people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and captures the relentless nature of living with T1D and the hundreds of extra decisions made each day.

We would like to say a special thank you to @tara_humphrey and her daughter Tahlia, @LisWarren, @joem_ and his partner Salman and @Jonpeach5 who shared their experiences and worked alongside us to create this film.

Together, let's raise awareness and inspire hope for a future without T1D💙
