Lilly amps Type 1 diabetes partnerships to reach more young people

Eli Lilly is renewing and expanding a longtime Type 1 diabetes partnership to support more than six times as many children in the next 10 years.

Working with Life for a Child, Lilly plans to expand care to 150,000 young people with diabetes over the next decade, up from 23,000 last year. The global initiative provides free immediate care with medicine and equipment like reusable pens and monitors, but also longer-term education and support in living with the chronic illness.
