Top Type 1 Diabetes Research Breakthroughs to Watch in 2025
Over the last twenty years, as technology has advanced at lightning speed, the T1D community has undergone its own transformation, with digital health and cutting-edge research driving remarkable diabetes breakthroughs.
![Top Type 1 Diabetes Research Breakthroughs to Watch in 2025]()
New and improved insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), artificial pancreas systems, beta cell regeneration, encapsulation, bionic pump therapy—plus clinical trials happening right now that render individuals insulin independent.
These trailblazing discoveries alone should be reason enough to commemorate this time in history and hope for even broader breakthroughs on the T1D horizon.
Type 1 Diabetes Research in 2025
When someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the first question they and their loved ones ask is how close are scientists to finding a cure? Since the discovery of insulin in 1921 (over 100 years ago!), diabetes treatment and technological advancements for the chronic disease have come in waves. Now, finally, the pendulum appears to be swinging with upward momentum.
Thanks to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), Diabetes Research Institute and continued government funding for the Special Diabetes Program (SDP), exploration into a cure continues to grow. More specifically, treatments to reverse, slow down and aid individuals with type 1 diabetes seem to have had a resurgence of late.
What’s more, StartUp Health’s T1D Moonshot Program offers opportunities to entrepreneurs, scientists and philanthropists to accelerate innovation toward managing the disease and finding a cure for T1D.
T1D Advances on the Horizon
When someone thinks of a cure – they expect the illness or disease to cease from being. There is hope for a biological cure for T1D. Ideally, concerning type 1 diabetes care, a cure requires the body to start producing its own insulin again and normalizing blood sugar levels without the added risk of immunosuppression drug side effects.
Here are some diabetes breakthroughs to watch for – that keep improving.

Step into the world of 35mm photography with the Photography Discussion Roundtable, heard every Monday evening at 7:00 PM ET on BrandMeister DMR Talkgroup 31266 — the MichiganOne Nets channel. This engaging net is your chance to explore the art and science of photography, ask questions, and sharpen your skills in a welcoming, knowledge-rich environment.
Hosted by James N8TMP, Bob KB8DQQ, and Rick AD8KN, each brings a wealth of experience to the mic. Bob and James are seasoned wedding photographers, while Rick adds deep technical insight and practical know-how. Together, they guide discussions on camera features, techniques, terminology, and everything from aperture to artistic vision.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft, tune in and join the conversation. Your next great shot starts here.
This guide outlines a simplified, fail-proof way to organize a library that mixes digital sources (cell phones) with analog sources (scanned 35mm film).
The goal is to create a “Single Source of Truth”—one master folder where everything lives together, sorted by when the moment actually happened.
The Strategy: Chronological Filing + The “Star-Gate” System
The best way to organize is Chronologically (by date) combined with a Strict Rating System. This removes emotion from the organization process and turns it into a simple checklist.
- The 5-Star “Star-Gate” System
Before you organize, you must cull. Use a photo viewer (like Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, or FastStone) that lets you tap a number key (1–5) to rate photos quickly.
- ★ (1 Star) – Trash: Blurry, pocket shots, black frames, or accidental videos of your feet.
- Action: DELETE immediately.
- ★★ (2 Stars) – The “Almosts”: Duplicates where eyes are closed, focus is soft, or the composition is just okay. You have 10 shots of the same sunset; you only need the best one.
- Action: DELETE. (Be brave!)
- ★★★ (3 Stars) – The Archive: Technically good, clear, and focused. These are the “memory keepers”—good for documentation and family history, even if they aren’t “art.”
- Action: FILE.
- ★★★★ (4 Stars) – The “Socials”: Great lighting, great expressions. These go on Instagram, Facebook, or the family group chat.
- Action: FILE + SHARE.
- ★★★★★ (5 Stars) – The Masterpieces: The absolute best shots. If your house was burning down, these are the digital files you’d save.
- Action: FILE + PRINT/FRAME.
- The Unified Workflow (Cell Phone + 35mm)
Since you are mixing film and digital, you have a unique challenge: Metadata.
- Cell phone photos know the date they were taken.
- 35mm scans usually think the date they were scanned is the date they were taken.
