At Glooko, we believe that people living with diabetes are the ultimate experts in their own care. This driving principle is the heartbeat of our mission and is deeply woven into our company culture. Nowhere is this more evident than in our diabetes-focused employee resource group (ERG), the Glucose Gladiators. They ensure we live our mission daily by putting the voice of the user at the center of innovation, driving us to improve diabetes care.
Embedding Real-World Diabetes Perspectives into Glooko
Recognizing the critical need to embed real-world experience into our work, a group of employees living with diabetes came together to found the Glucose Gladiators, a vibrant internal community dedicated to connection and support. The ERG is remarkably diverse, including people with Type 1 and 2 diabetes, caregivers, former nurses and healthcare providers, and women who experienced gestational diabetes. Their firsthand perspectives are our greatest asset. By sharing their personal experiences, Glooko is better equipped as a company to create a diabetes management solution that truly resonates and fulfills our core mission.
The ERG’s purpose is to:
- Educate other employees at Glooko about the realities of life with diabetes.
- Foster cross-department collaboration that drives meaningful impact in diabetes care.
- Help evolve our diabetes management platform to better serve the real-world needs of our users. By sharing their personal insights with our product team, we ensure our platform truly makes a difference.
