Seeing this today on @instagram has made my day! What a powerful image that says it all: community, peer support, you can be whatever you want to be, dream big. Inspirational 😍✈️💙 #gbdoc #nidoc @GBDocInfo #t1d #type1diabetes #type1tech #community @JDRFUK @CYPDiabNetwork

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. #GBdoc #HCL #tech

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 🙏🏽 #gbdoc 💙

@parthaskar @DrDita @DigiBeteUK @DiabeticDadUK @nerdabetic @drpratikc @WilmotEmma @geraldinegallen @Rezaidi @KarenFAddington Outrageous and heartbreaking for the family 💙

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. #gbdoc @BT1DUK @DiabetesUK

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. 💙 @RoyalFamily @elsadiabetes #T1D #Type1Diabetes

@parthaskar @NHSEngland @WilmotEmma @drpratikc @DrDita @ShivaniM_KC @DiabeticDadUK @nerdabetic @DigiBeteUK @KarenFAddington @geraldinegallen This is so great to see 💙 progress only counts when it reaches the people who need it. Huge thanks @parthaskar and everyone who’s helped make this happen 👏

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' @BT1DUK @DiabetesUK @ABCDiab Link: theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

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. 💙 #SMFAwards26 #GBDoc #Breakthrought1d

Today marks 25 incredible years for the Steve Morgan Foundation. 🙌 We’re extremely grateful for the difference you’ve made to so many lives, and for your continued commitment to improving the future for people living with type 1 diabetes. 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. 💙 #SMFconference26 #SMFawards26 #GBDoc

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. Tap the link in our bio to get your own: bit.ly/4dxMPkK #GBDoc #EE72 #Breathrought1d #Barbie

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Discovery Day Belfast this weekend. The day was a real reminder of just how strong the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community is! 💪 And what a turnout! Parents, young people, healthcare professionals and advocates - you all came together and shared your lived experiences, learned about the latest in T1D technology and research, and had honest conversations about what life with T1D really looks like. Whether it was your first Discovery Day or you’ve joined us before, it was so lovely to see people connecting, supporting each other and reminding each other that nobody has to manage type 1 alone. 🤝 We couldn’t do this without the support of organisations like the Bukhman Foundation. Thank you for supporting our Community Engagement work. 💙 #GBDoc #DiscoveryDay #T1D

Don’t miss the signs of #T1Diabetes The 4 Ts And no, they don’t have to be altogether as a presentation Keep this in your mind as a possible diagnosis Even one life saved? Is worth all the “cost” Better safe than sorry #T1Diabetes 💙

Still feeling the impact of an unforgettable Breakthrough T1D UK @BT1DUK Discovery Day in #Belfast 💙 Saturday was everything these events are about: people coming together, sharing stories, learning side‑by‑side and reminding one another that no one should ever have to navigate #T1D alone. The venue was filled with honesty, warmth, laughter and true community spirit. Huge thanks to our inspiring speakers for giving so much of themselves and their time. And to everyone who shared their lived experience so generously - your voices are the heartbeat of this community. From open Community Conversations to shared learning across the event, every room reflected the warmth and connection that make this community so special 🫶🏻 Massive thanks as well to our brilliant volunteers, partners and Breakthrough T1D team who made the day so welcoming from the moment people arrived, and to the Bukhman Foundation for supporting a space built on connection, community, learning and hope. Belfast - what a city. Until next time… 💙 #Type1Diabetes #GBDoc #NIDoc @GBDocInfo

@Moodwife @BT1DUK You sure will! Looking forward to OneWalk already 💙

@danfarrow9 @BT1DUK It looks like you all had a fabulous day 💙 Hopefully see you in the autumn up at Stormont for a wee dander
