A Diabetes Device You'd Actually Want to Carry Every Day
"I wanted to feel like myself, not like someone who needed constant hospital-grade equipment just to get through lunch. That's why the INSPO smart insulin delivery system caught my attention. Designed by Minseo Lee and Haneul Kang, this isn't just another glucose monitor or insulin pen. It's a complete rethinking of what diabetes management could look like if someone actually considered how we want to live our lives."
"Current diabetes technology has made incredible strides, don't get me wrong. Insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors have genuinely saved lives. But they come with baggage that goes beyond their physical weight. The financial burden is real. High upfront costs, endless consumables, insurance companies that may or may not cover what you need. And then there's the psychological weight of wearing something that looks like it belongs in a medical facility rather than at a coffee shop or the gym."
INSPO is a smart insulin delivery system designed by Minseo Lee and Haneul Kang that prioritizes everyday living alongside diabetes management. The system uses a non‑invasive continuous glucose monitor that straps onto the upper arm and measures blood sugar without finger pricks. Customizable straps and discreet aesthetics make the device blend into daily life. The design addresses financial and psychological burdens by rethinking consumables, visibility, and usability. The concept promotes medical devices with expanded design language so diabetes care can feel natural in public spaces like coffee shops, gyms, and homes.
