Furthermore, market penetration of insulin pumps is higher in the US than anywhere else in the world. We believe that our diabetes management system, offering unrivaled levels of freedom and connectivity combined with high levels of accuracy, has the potential to perform strongly in the growing insulin-pump marketplace.”
