ceremony, a panel discussion hosted by the American Diabetes

initiatives to further raise awareness
Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) (Insulet or the Company), the
global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod®
brand of products, today announced plans to recognize National
Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day with a series of
activities in November.
“People with diabetes must make dozens of decisions every day to
manage their condition, which can be incredibly stressful,
overwhelming at times, and get in the way of enjoying life. This
impact often extends to family members and caregivers, a burden the
general public largely underappreciates,” said Jim Hollingshead,
President and Chief Executive Officer, who noted that an estimated
500 to 600 million adults are living with diabetes, which is
forecasted to grow to more than 640 million by 2030. “At Insulet,
where many of us have personal connections to diabetes, we all get
to do something special, improving lives through our important
work.”
Nasdaq Closing Bell Ceremony:
On November 12, Mr. Hollingshead, along with members from the
Company’s leadership team and global employees, will be joined by
five Omnipod users (Podders) from the United States, Canada,
Germany, and the UK to ring the Nasdaq Stock Market closing bell at
4:00 p.m. ET. The Podders represent the hundreds of thousands of
people with diabetes who use Omnipod around the world. On behalf of
the five Podders and as part of the Insulet for Good initiative,
the Company will make charitable contributions to diabetes
organizations of their choice. The Nasdaq closing bell ceremony
will be aired live on the Nasdaq website and broadcast on CNBC and
MSNBC TV.
ADA Panel Discussion:
Insulet is sponsoring the American Diabetes Association’s® (ADA)
two-day community event focused on empowering communities to combat
diabetes and obesity on November 22 – 23 at Roxbury Community
College in Boston, MA. The State of Diabetes event will include a
panel discussion with Dr. Trang Ly, MBBS, FRACP, PhD, Senior Vice
President and Chief Medical Officer, on diabetes-related health
equity topics such as diabetes prevention and education, access,
cost of diabetes, advocacy efforts, and policy changes. Insulet
will also exhibit at the ADA Community Day of Access, which
includes free healthcare screenings and more.
“Insulet teams around the world are laser focused on delivering
innovations and bringing research-led insights that empower people
with diabetes to live their best lives,” said Dr. Ly. “We are proud
to support ADA's State of Diabetes event, and I look forward to
joining in the conversation and sharing our perspectives with
others who also care deeply about advancing diabetes care and
making the healthcare community stronger."
New Podcast Launch:
A new Insulet-sponsored podcast, “TypeCast: Life Between the
Lines,” is set to launch in November. Hosted by Omnipod Ambassador
Natalie Balmain, it will share different stories and life
experiences of people with diabetes from around the world, one of
several podcasts that Insulet supports to raise awareness.
Employee Engagement:
Throughout the month and part of Insulet for Good, employees
will write notes of support and encouragement to recently diagnosed
people (and their families), an effort that is being coordinated
with Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF).
Lastly, for World Diabetes Day on November 14, the Company will
host fun, informative, and interactive employee activities globally
to share customer stories on various platforms to further raise
awareness about diabetes and engagement around the Company’s
unifying mission—to improve the lives of people with diabetes.
