Diabetes: understand our patient-centric approach with our expert Agnieszka Kula-Borsuk

Making life of people with diabetes easier

Interview with Agnieszka Kula-Borsuk

Diabetes is one of the most widespread diseases in the world. And this is a chronic condition. Chronic condition means we have it for life, and the chronic condition means we have it 24 hours a day. 

Sometimes we are diagnosed when we are small babies and we have it until elderly age. 

During 24 hours a day, we need to take more than 180 additional decisions per day when we have this chronic condition. This creates additional burden for the patient. But the patient wants and tends to live their life to the fullest. 

In Air Liquide we are fully committed to make the life of the diabetic patients easier. And this relies on three key elements. First one is empowerment of the patient, him or herself. The patient needs to have all the data and all the information to take those additional 180 decisions per day. Second is innovation. We can provide the technology to support, and to support on data and on the decisions the patient will take. And the third one is the support. Because every patient is different, we provide personalized care plans for every patient. 

And those three elements contribute to improve the quality of life of our patients. Each patient is different, and this is why empowering patients requires personalized care pathways. 

Healthcare systems may vary from one country to another, but patients’ needs remain the same. Air Liquide Healthcare is a global player in diabetes and brings strong expertise in patient support with dedicated teams. 

Our objective is to help improve patient’s quality of life by providing optimal support at the best cost. 

This is also contributing to turn Healthcare Systems to be more sustainable.
