For all people living with type 1 diabetes using pumps

Beta Bionics is looking for people living with type 1 diabetes and their family members to help us learn about what it is like to live with diabetes in your family, what led you to make the choices you have made regarding insulin therapy, and what you feel diabetes companies could do to make all of these things easier/better. This is a unique opportunity to help Beta Bionics form our launch strategy.
