Our Approach
A connected system designed to improve outcomes for people living with Type 1 Diabetes
A collaborative built to close the gap between evidence and action
IMPACT T1D is a global initiative uniting clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, and policy makers to translate the best available evidence into practical, scalable solutions for people living with Type 1 Diabetes — everywhere.
Nearly 50% of all T1D diagnoses occur in adults — yet most care systems are designed for children. IMPACT T1D addresses the full continuum, from screening and diagnosis to access, technology, and policy reform.

How We Work
Three pillars of sustained impact
Our model is built on three interconnected principles that distinguish IMPACT T1D from conventional health initiatives.
Data-Driven Evidence
Every initiative is grounded in T1D Index data — measuring human and public health impact at the country level across all 195 nations.
Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration
Every initiative is grounded in T1D Index data — measuring human and public health impact at the country level across all 195 nations.
Practical Translation
Turning research insights into actionable care protocols, technology access programs, and country-specific policy recommendations.
