families, with hobbies, with hopes and dreams. For Diabetes
Awareness Month and beyond, let’s focus on holistic well-being and
making sure that diabetes doesn’t limit anyone from being the
person they most want to be.”

invisible to the people around us. That’s why we are so grateful to
embecta for bringing the community together today to show every
person with diabetes that they are not alone,” said Lisa Gier,
