Breakthrough T1D UK

This evening we premiered a short film starring Kate Moss captured by @nick_knight in a takeover of Piccadilly Lights. EE72 has launched a limited-edition A2 poster of the Spring 2026 cover of 72, available to purchase at ee72.com. Photographed by Nick Knight and featuring Kate Moss, this collector’s piece includes Kate’s printed handwritten signature. The poster is available for two-weeks starting today at the link in bio. Profits from the sales of the poster will benefit @breakthroughT1DUK the world’s leading type 1 diabetes research and advocacy charity chosen by and close to the heart of Kate, whose daughter, Lila, has been an advocate for the Type 1 Diabetes community.

Did it. Just. Had a chest infection which made it pretty gruelling (and took longer than hoped), but the incredible support from the crowds carried me to the finish line. So much love and sweat and tears. A mad and beautiful experience 🥹 @londonmarathon Mostly though, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to my @justgiving page to raise funds for @breakthrought1duk . With the additional support from the v generous @bukhmanfoundation , right now we are at a total of £132,000 and counting 🙌🔥🙏 This money will go towards supporting young diabetics across the county, but also each pound raised gets us closer to the cure that all of us Type 1 Diabetics so desperately want, including my mum, my sister and this brave little girl in the above photo called Emma, who is 6 years old, but was diagnosed when she was only 2 🙏☀️ Thanks also to the tech that got me safely to the finish line. I wear a @dexcomukie G7 monitor and an @omnipod 5 pump 24 hours a day (the devices stuck to my arm in above photo) but they were especially important during the marathon, keeping my glucose levels in range and therefore keeping me safe 🙏😚 Love to all my fellow T1D warriors out there. We got this 👊 xxx #londonmarathon

Sana Biotechnology shared new data at the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) conference in Barcelona, showing that their lab-engineered, insulin-producing cells have survived in one person for 14 months without the need for immunosuppression 🔬. The results of this study have shown that Sana's method is viable, and trials involving more people are planned for later this year. Read more at the link in our bio 📖 #Type1Diabetes #T1D #Research

Thank you. 💙 And a special thank you to our team, our incredible volunteers, and amazing speakers including @missbalmain , @drsametsahin and @muhammaddkali - the UK's first boxer living with T1D.🥊 Thank you all for helping redefine what's possible for people living with T1D. #T1D #OneWalk2026 #BreakthroughT1D

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 @Bukhmanfoundation . Thank you for supporting our Community Engagement work. 💙 #T1D #DiscoveryDay #breakthrought1d

Amazing day at the OneWalk with @breakthrought1duk 💙 So inspiring hearing everyone’s stories and experiences living with type 1 diabetes.

Loved completing the 5K walk and speaking with so many amazing people along the way sharing experiences and learning from each other is so powerful. Huge credit to Luan for organising such an incredible event 👏 Can’t wait for the next one! 💙 #type1diabetes #breakthrought1d #OneWalk #DiabetesAwareness #t1dcommunity
