Barriers to type 1 diabetes (T1D) care and treatment are complex, deeply rooted, and increasingly urgent as cases of diabetes climb sharply around the world. Community-based organizations provide vital services and have unique insights into the challenges of existing health systems and barriers faced by people with type 1 #diabetes. The T1D Community Fund, powered by Panorama Global with seed funding from The Helmsley Charitable Trust, received more than 300 applications from community-based organizations for its second request for proposals last fall. This data sheds light on the global landscape of CBO's work on type 1 diabetes and helps us understand how CBOs are supporting people living with type 1 diabetes, the challenges they face, and emerging opportunities for investment. Read more about what The T1D Community Fund learned from CBOs that applied for funding from The T1D Community Fund: https://bit.ly/4c4H5NA Next week, we’ll announce the 2024 T1D Community Fund grant recipients from across Africa, Central and South Asia, Europe, and Latin America!

People living with Type 1 Diabetes can’t pause their healthcare needs during times of crisis. Increasing access to quality care for those in #humanitariansettings is critical.   Managing #T1D requires consistent access to medication, monitoring equipment, and healthcare services — all of which can be severely disrupted during emergencies, forcing many to forgo critical care. This must change.   This week, The Helmsley Charitable Trust is in Athens with International Alliance for Diabetes Action for the 4th Symposium on Diabetes in #HumanitarianCrises. We're discussing accessible care, sustainable financing, and the vital role of community-based organizations in supporting displaced populations and those with difficulty connecting to the health system.

Missed Dr. Ayse Coskun’s 2023 conference presentation about the WDA patient registry? You can watch Dr. Cockun’s presentation on WDA’s YouTube channel at @WilsonDiseaseAssociation. “What is the Wilson Disease registry and why we need it.” Since 2017, WDA has contributed more than $2,470,000 to the patient registry. With 181 patients already registered and more coming on board, this study is vital to guide clinical research and improve patient care and health policy. Consider including WDA as part of your #GivingTuesday charitable giving, so we can continue to financially support this important long-term study. https://lnkd.in/gH3PvFHD #WilsonDiseaseAssociation #WDAConference2023 #Wilsondisease #Raredisease #Patientregistry #GivingTuesday

HEART CRY FOR RADICAL THINKING IN CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE Why is there no public investment in many health charities that alleviate pressure on the NHS who have proven highly effective at supporting 'at risk' children and young people? Please read the opinion piece below. Share it. Connect. Let's do some collaborative, far-sighted planning to create equity. This is critical because so many charities are under immense strain in the cost of living/cost of giving crisis.

Week one in the books with a total mileage of 116 in seven days! We might need to set up a challenge goal here pretty soon! If you haven't already, would love your support as we get on and off the bike each day for our friends, families and colleagues with T1D! Because of JDRF we're helping people live better lives and getting closer to cures! Since I've started with JDRF, I've received so many questions from our community about T1D so we're going to start sharing a few facts over the course of National Diabetes Awareness Month! So let's start with the basics... What is Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)? T1D is an autoimmune disease that occurs when a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, the hormone that controls blood-sugar levels. People that live with T1D must take insulin via injection or insulin pump to regulate their blood sugars. And the common misconception about T1D is that only children are diagnosed with the disease. T1D can occur in anyone at any stage of life, not just childhood. Please donate and stay tuned as we keep riding for cures! #1TD #NDAM #ForwardAs1 #JDRFInternational

Philadelphia continues to feel the effects of the relentless opioid crisis. While the city has a robust network of services and dedicated government, public health, and medical professionals, the treatment system is complex, fragmented, and perceived to be inaccessible to many people seeking care. Recent research from Thomas Jefferson University, supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts, examines the current system of care, how patients navigate it, and ways to increase access to high quality treatment. https://lnkd.in/drHPd_PC #OpioidUseDisorder #OpioidCrisis #OpioidTreatment

Did you know that delays in wound care may lead to significant complications? Approximately 20% of moderate or severe diabetic foot infections result in lower extremity amputations. Of all the lower extremity amputations in persons with diabetes, 85% are preceded by a foot ulcer. 75% of diabetic foot ulcers may be preventable. For at-risk patients and those who care for them, education, support, and early-stage evidence-based wound interventions are key difference-makers in healing wounds and preventing limb loss. Woundtech is committed to making a difference in the lives of those impacted by limb loss. This holiday season, join Woundtech in supporting the nation's largest organization focused on supporting those impacted by limb loss—the Amputee Coalition.

Together, we can conquer the unseen; all we need is decisive action. 💪🏽🌍 No one deserves to suffer from preventable diseases. We have recorded progress, but one case is one case too many. More needs to be done. In partnership with The END Fund, Delta Philanthropies has invested more than US$3,9 million in the national NTD program, facilitating at least 36 million treatments across four NTDs - SCH, STH, LF and Trachoma. If everyone comes to the table, NTDs can be eliminated faster than the current rate. This #WorldNTDDay, let us celebrate the progress and commit to action. With united efforts, we can #UniteActEliminate NTDs forever. #NTD #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #HealthForAll #BeatNTDs
