Why do I actually design and develop these products for insulin pumps? My answer is pretty simple: because I love what I do and I do it for someone I love; my son. I’ve studied fashion design and worked for small and large brands since then. After the birth of my two children in 2010 and 2012, I decided to be a stay at home mom for a while. Then in 2014, at only the age of four, my son was diagnosed with type1 diabetes. This was a big challenge for our day-to-day family life and how would I safely and comfortably “store” an insulin pump on my four year old child?! I remembered my beloved sewing machine. All the techniques that I have learned during my studies in fashion had become more relevant than ever.My son was really excited about everything I was creating for him, but I wanted to do more. After countless samples, research, conversations with physicians, and parents that were in my shoes, I realised that my product in the making could not only help my son but also improve the lives of others that are also affected. That was the sign to start up my own company and handle things in a professional way. The idea for mellitus one was born.
My biggest fan (and critic) at home keeps encouraging me to keep trying new things.
