Advances in Type 1 Diabetes Science

A LITTLE MORE THAN A CENTURY AGO a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes was a death sentence.

Today, thanks to extraordinary scientific progress, many people with type 1 diabetes-especially in developed countries-can enjoy long, healthy lives. I'm profoundly grateful that my older son, now 16, was born into this era of possibility. His diagnosis in 2020 came at a time when innovation and advocacy had transformed what it meant to live with this chronic autoimmune disease. I'm excited to share this Innovations In special report, in which we explore the remarkable advances reshaping the landscape of type 1 diabetes research and care.
