T1International does not accept pharmaceutical industry funding or any funds that would compromise or influence our ability to advocate. However, we are committed to working in the spirit of openness, collaboration and partnership to advocate for systemic change. We are always willing to have an open and respectful dialogue with any individual or organization, even if our opinions differ.
We believe that by working together we can make a bigger impact in the lives of people living with diabetes than if we were only working as individual organisations. Partners work with T1International on specific, focused and time-bound projects or programs. Partnerships have mutual recognition and involve written agreements. Most partners are also allies.
