World Diabetes Day — today, Nov. 14 — brings out the best in the diabetes community that continues to innovate year after year.
This date serves as a time to recognize these innovations as it marks the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting. Banting discovered the insulin hormone along with Charles Herbert Best in 1922. The date also falls within the American Diabetes Association’s National Diabetes Awareness Month, which calls further attention to these life-saving technologies and advancements.
A lot of those companies have garnered significant interest over the course of the year with their innovations as well. We have a roundup of the biggest diabetes tech stories of the year so far at our sister site, Drug Delivery Business News, to recognize World Diabetes Day.
In recognition of these dates, medtech companies in the diabetes space often undertake efforts each year to celebrate and draw attention to both the month of November and the day, Nov. 14, in recognition of the diabetes community. We compiled lists in 2021, 2022 and 2023, highlighting some of the action taken by these companies.
