El Programa Especial para la Diabetes (PED) es un programa gubernamental esencial que proporciona 160 millones de dólares anuales a los países en vías de desarrollo.almente a los Institutos Nacionales de Salud de EE.UU. (NIH) exclusivamente para la investigación de la T1D. El SDP complementa la financiación y los esfuerzos de investigación de Breakthrough T1D.
To date, the SDP has dedicated nearly $3.6 billion to research. It has delivered real breakthroughs to this community, including artificial pancreas systems, the first therapy to delay T1D onset, and more.
Renovar el SDP es la prioridad número 1 de Breakthrough T1D.
Acceso a la insulina e innovación
Todas las personas con T1D deben tener acceso asequible a la insulina, que necesitan tomar varias veces al día para sobrevivir. Nadie debe sufrir o morir por no poder permitirse la insulina.
Breakthrough T1D se compromete a trabajar con todos para conseguir que la insulina sea asequible sin ahogar la innovación.
Financiación pública
Breakthrough T1D defiende la financiación federal de gobiernos de todo el mundo.
En Estados Unidos, esto significa defender los niveles de financiación más altos posibles para los Institutos Nacionales de Salud y la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de Estados Unidos. Estos organismos gubernamentales son socios clave de Breakthrough T1D en el avance de los tratamientos y la mejora del acceso a la asistencia para quienes la necesitan en todo el mundo.
Acelerar el acceso a las curas
Thanks to decades of work by Breakthrough T1D, there is an FDA approved therapy that delays T1D onset. This revolutionary therapy is the first, but it will not be the last, to alter the course of T1D. This therapy, future cure therapies, and early detection of T1D must be available to all who need them and can benefit from them.
Breakthrough T1D se compromete a trabajar con todas las partes interesadas para lograr un acceso asequible a estas terapias, garantizando al mismo tiempo la continuidad de las innovaciones.
Early detection campaign
Breakthrough T1D is leading a campaign to make early detection of T1D the standard of care in the United States.
Our campaign seeks to secure a positive recommendation from the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) for type 1 diabetes screening.
The USPSTF provides recommendations for preventative care, which serve as the gold standard for clinicians and providers. Our campaign will include key clinicians, research experts, clinical organizations, and advocates.
Breakthrough T1D advocates on behalf of the entire type 1 diabetes community. With the help of our incredible grassroots advocates, we make sure key government agencies and Members of Congress know who we are, what we’re advocating for, and how they can help make T1D a thing of the past.”
