DANII Foundation - T1 diabetes Who's looking after today's T1D's? OUR VISION is for a world where people with T1D live without Fear

The DANII Foundation (supporting Type 1 Diabetes) was established in 2012 by parents Donna and Brian Meads-Barlow as a legacy to their 17 year old daughter Daniella following her sudden passing in 2011 as a result of a night time hypoglycaemic episode - a diabetes complication more widely known as “Dead in Bed” syndrome. Danii went to bed a happy, healthy teenager, but sometime during the night, h

er blood glucose levels (BGL’s) fell so low that she became unresponsive and was unable to alert her parents that something was terribly wrong. Danii’s BGL’s fell to such a critically low level that she experienced convulsions, pushing her into a coma, and causing her death – alone and in silence. On learning that there was technology overseas that could have prevented Danii’s death, her parents knew what they had to do: through their own tragedy, they had to do everything possible to prevent another life being cut short. Through her passing, Danii gave her parents a parting gift: the inspiration to create a lasting legacy in her name and the courage to offer today’s T1D’s the care and safety they need to help them manage their diabetes and in doing so, help them live a normal, long and enjoyable life. The DANII Foundation supports the research, development and introduction of alert technology to assist in the management of Type 1 Diabetes.

🍬 National Jelly Bean Day DANII Foundation Giveaway 🍬

It's a special day for everyone who loves those sweet little lollies!

But did you know?
For many people living with Type 1 Diabetes, jelly beans are more than just a treat, they’re often used to help treat hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Quick, simple and effective. 💙

WHAT IS A JELLY BEAN?
Jelly beans are small, bean-shaped sweets with a soft centre and a sugary outer shell. Because they’re high in sugar, they can help raise blood sugar levels quickly during a hypo event.

Now let’s make it fun… 👀
Can you guess how many jelly beans are inside our DANII letters?

Drop your guess in the comments, whoever gets it right (or closest!) will win a little GLUCOJEL Bundle 🧸🍬✨ Competition closes tomorrow -23rd April at 5pm.

✨ Wishing you all the sweetest luck… we can’t wait to see your guesses! 💙

✨ A night that meant so much more than a celebration ✨

Jelly Bean Ball is where purpose meets connection. From vibrant performances and joyful moments on the dance floor to meaningful fundraising that creates real impact - every part of the night was made possible by a shared belief in something bigger.

At the heart of Jelly Bean Ball is our mission: supporting families living with Type 1 Diabetes through the life-changing work of Daniii Foundation. This gala is not only about unforgettable memories, but about hope, awareness and community.

💙 We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, whose generosity and belief in our cause help bring Jelly Bean Ball to life and allow DANII Foundation to continue supporting families when it matters most.

As we look ahead to Jelly Bean Ball 2026, taking place on 20 June, we can’t wait to welcome familiar faces and new friends as we continue this journey together.
