Stronger together
We believe in developing better care for everyone with diabetes, which is why we’re partnering with Life for a Child, #dedoc° — working together for a brighter future.
Let’s talk about diabetes.
We want to people to have an open and honest conversation about what needs to be done to improve people’s journey with diabetes.
One way we start these discussions is by partnering with patient associations to understand, educate, and promote diabetes care.
Life for a Child
Because no child should die of diabetes. In some under resourced countries, children living with Type 1 diabetes don’t have access to life-saving insulin, blood glucose test strips and diabetes education. Life for a Child partners with diabetes centres in countries like Tanzania, Mexico and India to help young people with diabetes who have no other care available.
