#WeAreNotWaiting: Empowering Diabetic Lives through Open Source

Living with type 1 Diabetes involves a constant struggle to manage blood sugar levels through insulin injections and constant monitoring.

Traditional commercial solutions often fall short, leaving individuals frustrated with limited options and flexibility in a hard to manage and slow paced system.

Out of this frustration, the #WeAreNotWaiting movement emerged, with individuals taking matters in their own hands and building alternative, DIY and open source solutions, like Nightscout, OpenAPS, xDrip, tidepool - basically creating an open source pancreas.

With a decade of innovations and a aim that is global, this movement has not only shown the way and empowered people to a better quality of life, but is also a perfect example of what the power open source can be.
