This August I'm taking on Breakthrough T1D's Sit Up Challenge, completing 1922 sit ups, 62 a day, celebrating the first big breakthrough in T1D history. In 1922, insulin was first used to treat type 1 diabetes, proving for the first time that blood glucose could be managed and that living with the condition was possible. Every sit up celebrates that breakthrough and help fund the discoveries that come next. Research didn’t stop in 1922, and we won't stop until there’s a cure. Every £25 could pay for an hour of research nurse support for someone involved in a clinical trial, which could ultimately lead to the next big breakthrough. Without this support there would be no trial. Every £100 could pay for one person to be screened for type 1 diabetes, to help prevent undiagnosed complications and save lives. Thank you for your support, whatever you donate is really appreciated. Together, we can help to cure type 1 diabetes!
