Arresting a Serial Killer

VictorHe’s an inventor

He is not a serial killer

Meet

Victoris fit

But he’s got type 1

diabetes

T2DT2D

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) develops via poor diet,

lack of exercise, carrying excess weight.

Lots of people know this

There is a cure for people

Special diets reverse it

WOW

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an auto-immune disease,

where the body stops producing insulin.

No one knows why

There is no cure for people

5 dogs were cured though

WOOF

T2DT2D

Yes, T2D is reversible

Follow a special dietGet your life back

That’s good news

Serial killerBut T1D is different.It’s not reversible.

And it can get worse, if you don’t arrest it.Like having a serial killer on the loose. Argh.

Victorsearched

the internet

But he didn’t like any of the

many self-managementapp/systems

for T1D

So he invented one

And because it’s the age of convergence and we’re all connected,

he connected with peers, doctors and technicians.(And stopped waiting for help from traditional pyramid institutions.)

←traditional pyramid institutionDirectives from the top

A disruptive technology system for T1D was born.

He called it SocialDiabetes. Good job V and the team.

Because he wants to increase the quality of life for people with T1D

37,000,000P.S. That’s the population of California. Or nearly all of Spain. Gulp.

He wants to reduce the annual global T1D/T2D healthcare cost

$471,000,000,000Because, ultimately, it’s you and me who bear the healthcare burden

Worst diagnosis rates of T1D are in the under 5-year-olds

And he wants to help tiny people

Don’t wait for better management of a killer disease

Look for a solutionIf nothing exists that works for you, tell someone.

Invent.Just like Victor.
