🔊Sound on!🔊 We're excited to introduce our new film, ‘What a cure feels like’, celebrating our transformation to Breakthrough T1D! The film features real people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and captures the relentless nature of living with T1D and the hundreds of extra decisions made each day. We would like to say a special thank you to @tara_humphrey and her daughter Tahlia, @LisWarren, @joem_ and his partner Salman and @Jonpeach5 who shared their experiences and worked alongside us to create this film. Together, let's raise awareness and inspire hope for a future without T1D💙 #BreakthroughT1D #WhatACureFeelsLike #T1D #GBDoc
