Transforming Type 1 Diabetes Care — From Evidence to Impact
A global collaborative advancing earlier diagnosis, equitable access, technology, and policy solutions for people living with Type 1 Diabetes.
Why IMPACT T1D
The Need for Action is Clear
People living with Type 1 Diabetes worldwide
Estimated to be missing from appropriate diagnosis, treatment, or support
Additional lives projected through timely diagnosis
Additional lives projected through universal access to essential care
The scale is vast — and growing
T1D affects nearly 9 million people, with diagnosis rates rising globally. Nearly 50% of new diagnoses occur in adults, not children.
Solutions exist — but remain siloed
Timely diagnosis alone could mean 668,000 more people alive by 2040. The knowledge exists; the coordinated action does not.
Collaboration is the missing piece
No single organization can bridge research, care delivery, technology access, and policy reform. IMPACT T1D brings all four together.
