Standing with the T1D Community: From Awareness to Action

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) can affect anyone, at any age, regardless of family history – and often develops silently. As a result, up to 40% of people don't know they have T1D until they experience a potentially life-threatening event, like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). At Sanofi, we’re committing to changing this reality.

While T1D cannot be prevented, it can be detected early. A T1D autoantibody blood test can identify T1D risk before symptoms ever appear — offering individuals and families information to understand, prepare, and take charge of their health.

Today and every day, we're working to expand education around early detection and advancing innovative science that addresses significant unmet needs for this community.

Improving Education and Access for People with T2D

With type 2 diabetes (T2D), the body may make insulin but develops insulin resistance. Many people living with T2D experience phases when blood sugar levels are too high, then too low.

Living with T2D can be a constant balancing act of tracking blood sugar levels, managing medications, planning meals, and staying active. With these daily challenges, we are committed to advancing care for those living with T2D through a combination of proven therapies and digital innovation. The patient is at the heart of everything we do, and our approach is centered around access, education, and support for people living with T2D.
