Katie DiSimone left a lasting mark on the Type 1 diabetes community through her honesty, wisdom, and advocacy. Her insights and lived experience continue to encourage and support families navigating life with T1D today.

The rapid evolution of Type-1 diabetes (T1D) management technology has left many traditional healthcare systems playing catch-up. Among the most significant innovations are the Open-Source Automated Insulin Delivery (OSAID) systems (Loop, AAPS, Trio, OpenAPS) and Nightscout, a real-time data-sharing and visualization tool.

After more than 50 years living with Type 1 diabetes, Loop—an open-source automated insulin delivery system—stands apart as the most life-changing and effective diabetes technology available today.

Diabetes has long been considered a DIY condition, and the Type-1 diabetes community continues that tradition today through open-source systems like Loop and Nightscout and the #WeAreNotWaiting movement.
