We're excited to introduce our new film, โWhat a cure feels likeโ, 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 T1D๐

I reposted this yesterday. Maybe you missed it, here it is again.
How devastating a #T1D diagnosis can be to a parent is clear. The confusion for a child, I know well. I was diagnosed on my 8th birthday.
Merry Christmas, Franklin ๐๐
โ๏ธ #ATypeOfChristmas written at 3.40am this morning.
Even after a year of Franklin's #Type1Diabetes diagnoses, it's still raw. I hope there's relatable comfort in this.
Sending love to all raising awareness of @MyDiabetesStory & the amazing work of @JDRFUK & @DiabetesUK #GBDoc
