ACTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) (Insulet or the Company), the global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod^® brand of products, today announced a series of initiatives in recognition of National Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day.

“Our commitment to people with diabetes extends beyond our innovative insulin delivery technology,” said Jim Hollingshead, President and Chief Executive Officer. “World Diabetes Day may be just one day on the calendar, but for those living with diabetes, every day requires resilience and strength. By raising awareness today, we pave the way for a world where care, support, and understanding are accessible to all who need it.”

World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day is recognized globally on Tuesday, November 14, and the Insulet team will appear at the Nasdaq Stock Market for the ninth consecutive year by ringing the closing bell at 4:00 p.m. ET. Mr. Hollingshead will be joined by a group of global Insulet employees and customers and will speak about the importance of raising diabetes awareness and Insulet’s mission. The Nasdaq Stock Market closing bell ceremony will be aired live on the Nasdaq website and broadcast on CNBC and MSNBC TV.

Earlier that day, Insulet employees will join the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) at NBC’s TODAY Show, to recognize Nurse Practitioner Week and the important role nurse practitioners play in diabetes management. The intersection of World Diabetes Day and Nurse Practitioner Week provides the perfect opportunity to highlight Insulet employees who are also professionally trained and certified as nurse practitioners.

Diabetes Awareness Month Activities

• Pledge to End Diabetes Stigma – Insulet has endorsed an international campaign to eliminate diabetes stigma and discrimination. The diaTribe Foundation and the Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes are convening the global diabetes community to encourage non-profits, industry partners, healthcare professionals, people with diabetes, and allies and the general public to endorse the pledge.
• Education for Clinicians – Members of the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES) based in New England are invited to Insulet’s Acton, Massachusetts global headquarters on November 2. The event, hosted by the ADCES Massachusetts Coordinating Body, is designed to empower and support clinicians in their care of people with diabetes.
• #JustMyType Social Media Campaign – Insulet is encouraging the global diabetes community to create awareness and increase representation of people with diabetes through its #JustMyType campaign. The Company will feature content on its social media channels and will encourage others to participate on their own social channels.
• Omnipod Ambassador Event – On November 11, Insulet is co-hosting a special event for Podders^® and Dexcom Warriors from Germany and the UK, bringing content creators together to collaborate and create diabetes-related content to educate the public, broaden awareness, and inspire people with diabetes.

Orli Adamski is a 16-year-old from New York who has been advocating for people with diabetes since she was diagnosed at age seven. Ms. Adamski will join the Insulet team at the Nasdaq closing bell ceremony, representing the Podder community, just as she did last summer as a delegate to JDRF’s 2023 Children’s Congress.

“There are no breaks with type 1 diabetes,” said Ms. Adamski. “It impacts every single moment of my life, and so many other lives. It’s important to create awareness of the challenges that people with diabetes face, including gaining access to technology like Omnipod 5.”

In order to better serve Insulet’s customers, the Company is also planning various employee events and activities to increase awareness of diabetes.
