Thriving can look different to everyone impacted by diabetes. It may mean having confidence, support, stability – or simply the freedom to focus on what matters most.

Because everyone’s experience is different, hearing from people living with diabetes, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and all those impacted is essential:

❓ What does ‘thriving’ mean to you?
🤝 What helps you feel supported in daily life?
💡 What makes a meaningful difference?

We want to hear your perspective. Join the conversation: https://www.medtecheurope.org/diabetes/thriving-with-diabetes/

Chronic wounds affect up to 14.9 million people in Europe, and podiatrist Natalia sees this reality every day.

Many of her patients live with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which causes poor blood flow and a high risk of wounds that struggle to heal. Treating them takes close teamwork between podiatrists, vascular specialists and tissue viability experts.

Now Natalia is raising awareness of the challenges of chronic wound care and the vital role medtech plays in supporting patients and healthcare professionals alike.

Across Europe, more than 60 million people are living with diabetes. Managing this chronic, life-long condition can mean hundreds of decisions every single day – decisions that shape energy, confidence, and the ability to focus on what truly matters.

Managing diabetes is about more than numbers and routines. It can mean feeling supported and equipped to fully participate in work, family, and community life – or to simply maintain peace of mind throughout the day.

Today, the MedTech Europe Diabetes Sector Group is launching an initiative to explore this question together: What does thriving with diabetes mean to you?

We want to hear from you. Join the conversation here ➡️ https://bit.ly/4eHnV2M

Corporal Andy Reid lost three limbs while serving in Afghanistan, yet he refused to let it define his future and is now inspiring others through resilience and medical technology.

After life-saving surgery, Andy took his first steps on prosthetic legs just months later. Since then, advances in medtech from carbon fibre limbs to microprocessor-controlled knees and osseointegration have helped him regain mobility and independence.

Now he is using his experience to give back, support veterans and raise awareness of what is possible with the right mindset and technology.
