The Cybernetic Diabetic Blog: Community News and August Updates

Community Miles, New Adventures, and Exciting Updates

There is a lot happening throughout The Cybernetic Diabetic™ community! From an inspiring 5,000-mile journey supporting type 1 diabetes research to new device covers, heroic stories, newly launched eGift Cards, and the official introduction of our mascot, this update is filled with passion, purpose, and plenty of quac-itude.

Ride Pat Ride: Turning Miles into Passion and Purpose

From July 15 through October 15, Pat is taking on an extraordinary journey—riding more than 5,000 miles to support the diabetes community and help ensure no one has to go the distance alone.

Through Ride Pat Ride, every mile raises awareness, strengthens community, and supports the life-changing work of Breakthrough T1D. Contributions to the campaign help advance research, improve lives, and move us closer to breakthroughs that once seemed out of reach.

Support the Cause Behind the Ride

Visit DONATE | Ride Pat Ride to contribute. One hundred percent of the money raised is being donated.

Your support helps accelerate life-changing type 1 diabetes research, strengthen advocacy efforts, and expand resources for individuals and families affected by T1D every day.

Every donation moves us closer to better treatments, greater support, and a future in which type 1 diabetes no longer defines what is possible.

Follow Pat’s Journey

Visit WHERE IS PAT? | Ride Pat Ride to track Pat’s progress and follow along as he travels more than 5,000 miles for a cause that matters.

A Heroic New Collection Is Taking Shape

We are also hard at work creating a brand-new collection of Captain Lantus inspired device covers!

These upcoming designs will give members of the community another way to wear their support, celebrate the Captain Lantus mission, and show their pride wherever they go.

Stay tuned—the next adventure is coming to your device!

Tandem® t:slim X2 Users—Something New Is Getting Closer!

We have been working directly with a product tester to fine-tune the fit of our upcoming covers compatible with the Tandem® t X2 insulin pump.

Every detail matters. Our goal is to make sure each cover feels secure, comfortable, and ready for everyday use.

We are almost there! Once we receive the final thumbs-up, production will move quickly.

Keep an eye on TheCyberneticDiabetic.com and future community updates. Our new Tandem® t X2-compatible collection could be arriving soon!

Meet the Newest Member of The Cybernetic Diabetic!

Thank you to everyone who visited our website and cast a vote in our mascot-naming poll!

For several weeks, it was an incredibly close race between three names. One would edge ahead, only to fall behind again the very next day. Every vote made a difference, and we sincerely appreciate everyone who joined the fun and helped us make this important decision.

The votes have now been counted, and the time has finally come to introduce…

QUAC—the Newest Member of The Cybernetic Diabetic Family!

QUAC is our Quirky, Upgraded, Adaptive, Companion who represents, confidence, individuality, encouragement, and a little bit of quac-itude.

You will be seeing much more of him as he helps us celebrate creativity, community, and our belief that your devices should reflect you—not define you.

Thank you for helping us give QUAC his name. We cannot wait to share his upcoming adventures with you!
