The Inspiration

Meet Gabe and Kai. They are identical twins with T1D. They are dedicated animators and rock climbers. Although they are identical twins with the same DNA they are wonderfully unique.

Gabe has an artistic quirkiness that puts anyone at ease, and Kai has fierce dedication to his craft. Gabe loves to try new things and the sky is the limit and Kai is regimented and goal oriented.

The Tandem pump has been incredibly advantageous for them in creating the best possible outcomes with their Type 1 Diabetes.

There are so many unnecessary struggles and challenges within the T1D world. In our home we like to try to find solutions that can ease some of the energy drain that can happen. After so many pump replacements from simple movements shattering screens, we couldn't help but imagine the obvious solution.

The Solution

A protective case should cover the most vulnerable part of the pump. As a family we worked out the design, and were motivated to bring it to market.

The simple solution has already offered us relief from one of the many challenges that face us living with Type 1. Our response has to be to offer the same option to others.

Community

We truly feel a connection with every person and family living with T1D. Our hearts are for you to defy every odd and to live life boldy and adventurously on your terms! We all have so much to gain from one another.

You too have solutions and insights that will benefit other T1Ds. It may be your advice, your compassion, or your idea for the next solution that can ease another one of the challenges we all face.
