The OPEN Project

🎯#OPEN is Closed! Read a summary of the past 4 years of our #research here: mailchi.mp/open-diabetes/…

@REA_research Investigated by OPEN, not developed. But it's true, the systems were and are being developed by people with diabetes and their families. #WeAreNotWaiting #DIYAPS #OpenSource #PatientInnovation #Loopercommunity

(3) Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition where the body stops producing insulin – a key hormone in the regulation of glucose. 💉 The #MSCA @OpenDiabetesEU, a patient-led project, has developed a software to adjust insulin dosing to the body's needs. 🔗 europa.eu/!CRN7Dc

(1) It is #WorldDiabetesDay! 🗓️ #Diabetes is one of the key #healthchallenges of modern times and will continue to grow unless we all work together. Learn how #EUfunded projects contribute to equitable access to essential care, including awareness raising & risk prevention. 👇

FYI: @HanneBallhausen will present @OPENDiabetesEU results at the end of @dedocDE's first-ever German #docday° today around 18:30 h CEST / 6.30 pm Berlin time (in German): dedoc.de/docday #dedoc #WeAreNotWaiting #DIYAPS #T1D

We’ll be celebrating our successful closing conference at @dedocORG’s #docnight tomorrow. Join us for a fun night out with the diabetes advocacy community — everyone is welcome! Register here: eventbrite.com/e/docnight-att…

@tadorna introduces the #dedoc symposium at #ATTD2023. He will hate me for saying it but he is the soul, foundation and reason #dedoc exists. He inspires the Voices to #payitforward and focuses our passion into a unified driving force.

Although the evidence is limited, we shouldn't deny elderly patients access to medication and consider deintensifying treatments for this "frail" age group. #ATTD2023

@DrMartindeBock1 presenting on work to develop an ultracheap insulin pump. Under $500NZD, open source in design. Watch this space! #ATTD2023

#dedoc symposium "What we wish you knew - and why?" @dedocORG @ATTDconf @friendocrino @RenzaS @Moodwife #dedocvoices #attd2023 #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #pwd #pwld

#ATTD2023 #dedoc Such a powerful talk from the fabulous @Moodwife ‘People living with diabetes are: Curious, Observant, Interested, Invested, Here for the long game’ PWD want to have these conversations with HCPs, we want to voice our questions and help HCPs answer theirs.

Rayhan Lal: ‘Involving people with diabetes in the design phase of research is CRUCIAL’ 👏🏼 #dedoc #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs @dedocORG @OPENDiabetesEU @ATTDconf

OPEN identified women run slightly higher than men. I wonder if this is due to a mismatch of menstrual cycle insulin resistance changes to pump profiles

That’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who joined us today & who contributed to the OPEN project over the years. The recording of today’s event will be available at open-diabetes.eu very soon!

@renzas wrapping up and sharing a key takeaway from today: “The future is bright!”

Rayhan Lal’s closing statement: “If we want to be an inclusive community, we need to give those people access to this technology who are most affected by diabetes”

@MartindeBock walks us through potential ways of levelling the playing field and opening up access to open source AID 🤩 @OPENDiabetesEU @ATTDconf @dedocORG #dedoc° voices #NIdoc #IREdoc #GBDoc #DOC

Thanks to Shane O'Donnell with the @OPENDiabetesEU project for highlighting @t1international data and the huge need for #insulin4all when talking about technological advances in #diabetes.

Martin De Bock is developing a super cheap insulin pump with a bunch of clever people. Totally inspiring and mind blowing. Pumps are under utilised because of the high costs so this would be a game changer. #dedoc @OPENDiabetesEU

Wow! @DrMartindeBock1 presenting these amazing plans for an open-source, low-cost insulin pump 👏🏼 Such a great initiative for improved access #WeAreNotWaiting #dedoc @dedocORG @OPENDiabetesEU @ATTDconf
