Advocacy

Breakthrough T1D brings together people affected by type 1 diabetes who want their voices heard. Breakthrough T1D advocates with the T1D community to Members of Parliament (MP) as well as provincial and municipal officials. These relationships strengthen our community, provide support and deliver our message – the need to accelerate research and improve access through funding from our federal and provincial governments.

Access For All

Access For All aims to make type 1 diabetes (T1D) technology affordable and accessible for everyone living with this disease. This campaign aims to support our T1D community in their efforts to increase public and private coverage for insulin pumps and advanced glucose monitors (CGM and Flash GM). Together, we can reduce the out-of-pocket costs for these technologies and improve access for Canadians with T1D.
