Diabetes

Changing habits and new environmental realities have led to increased rates of diabetes. As a chronic condition requiring life-long treatment and care, diabetes can lead to serious health complications if not effectively managed daily. This creates a significant burden for those living with the condition and their loved ones, as well as a growing strain on healthcare professionals and health systems unequipped for long-term chronic disease management. 

The MedTech Europe Diabetes Group is committed to addressing the needs of people living with diabetes and their care teams to improve health outcomes and quality of life, while supporting healthcare systems in meeting the demands of this growing diabetes pandemic and improving their resiliency. Our guiding priorities include:

1. Advancing digitally enabled diabetes care in T1 and T2 diabetes 
2. Promoting value-based healthcare and system readiness
3. Being a trusted partner in the diabetes community
