How Did We Ask? “We're looking for innovations that have significantly eased life with diabetes in the following four categories. Is there a product, service, program, or individual that you would like to nominate?”

Education: New ways for people with diabetes to help themselves

Glucose control: Better ways to help people manage their BG every day

Ease of access: Easier ways for people to get the care they need

Device design or interoperability: A new device, service or software that is truly easy to use, or a new way of combining data from tools we already have

These innovations can come from diabetes drug or device makers, doctors' offices/clinics/hospitals, pharmacies, insurers, software companies, individuals... anyone.
