1 Type

1Type is Sanofi’s newly formed girl band comprised of four talented teenage girls living with Type 1 diabetes: Ella, Lola-Belle, Finley, and Olivia. Hailing from across the UK and brought together through Stagecoach Performing Arts, with sponsorship from Sanofi, they are united by their shared experiences of the condition. Sanofi & Stagecoach have partnered on this project. This unique partnership brings together Sanofi's commitment to the aT1D community and Stagecoach Performing Arts' dedication to empowering young talent, using the transformative power of music to drive awareness and empathy.

The 1Type Band's debut song, "Rise Up," isn't just a song; it's a powerful anthem raising awareness of autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes (aT1D). “Rise Up” aims to empower young people living with aT1D and help them feel less alone. aT1D is an autoimmune, complex, and lifelong condition – and it can happen to anyone at any age even without family history. It can be a challenging disease with lifelong clinical, economic, and emotional unmet needs for patients and families. In the UK, there is a growing prevalence where approximately 400,000 people are living with the disease, including about 36,000 people 19 years of age and younger.
