What's the most rewarding part of helping people with diabetes through your work?

Educating patients about diabetes is really rewarding especially when they can follow what you taught them and when they go back to the clinic their laboratory results and lifestyles improve. It's also a big help especially when I'm doing medical missions in the community.

What have you learned about diabetes and DIY Looping since joining the team?

DIY looping is really not that practiced here in our Country not until Doc Kelvin introduced me to it. I do believe that DIY looping helps people manage their diabetes.

Where do you see the future of diabetes over 10 years?

That Diabetes will be treated as a serious matter. Here in the Philippines a lot of our clients take it for granted, they don't check their sugar regularly. I'm also looking forward for an accessible diabetes managements, more flexible prices for the devices so that everyone can manage their sugars like how easy for everyone to get their blood pressures.
