About us

We’re Beta Bionics.

Born out of a real customer need from one of our own. A family learning to manage life, after their infant son developed type 1 diabetes.

To us, it’s personal.

Many of us on the Beta Bionics team live with, or care for, someone with diabetes. We draw inspiration and drive from our personal and collective experiences, to be a force for good for the diabetes community.

At Beta Bionics, we get it. We understand the physical, cognitive, and emotional impacts of diabetes within our community.1 It’s a powerful and inspiring community to be part of.

Knowing from personal experience the many challenges and pressures that people with diabetes cope with motivates our team to not accept the status quo of diabetes management.

We’re not happy that fewer than 1 in 5 people in the U.S. with type 1 diabetes achieve the American Diabetes Association therapy goal.2 That’s not good enough. And we’re on a mission to change that.

The cognitive and emotional burden of type 1 diabetes.

The immense cognitive load and emotional burden of managing type 1 diabetes, coupled with rising health inequality, has created a perfect storm for many.3

80% of people with diabetes live with uncontrolled blood glucose and are at risk from complications.2

Achieving consistent glycemic control in type 1 diabetes is incredibly difficult to achieve. Especially for people with constantly fluctuating blood sugar levels. No wonder 80% are not reaching goal.2

Add in the 42 factors known to affect blood glucose levels such as stress and weather – and you can start to see how big a burden the data and decision-making overload can be.1 When you think of all those varying decisions and ever-changing factors, you can get a sense of what people with diabetes and their caregivers face on a daily basis. It’s a constant battle to try to control the uncontrollable.

Technology for type 1 diabetes has advanced so much recently, but, sadly, the advances seem to serve only a small group of people.

When you see the scale of the problem, it becomes clear what we’re pushing against. And that’s why, for this community, we’re so committed to making change happen.

Our leadership team

Our mission and vision.

We’re here to bring innovative type 1 diabetes management solutions to the many, not the few. Bringing better access to better solutions – and a better life for those living with diabetes.

At Beta Bionics, we know instinctively that each person with diabetes has different needs, experiences and resources. The community is not all the same, it’s a group of uniquely different individuals that we’re here to help. Whatever health inequalities or other challenges you face, we’re committed to bringing forward solutions that enhance your experience in managing diabetes.

We are a Certified B Corporation, this means we meet a high standard of social and environmental responsibility, balancing people, profit, purpose and the planet.

Who we are.

At Beta Bionics, we’re a people-focused company, here to serve the wider diabetes community. As you’d expect, we’ve got incredible technical expertise and skills on our team to enable us to do that.

But just as important, our people are a great bunch of human beings too. All committed and passionate in helping our community live fuller, more enjoyable lives.
