Many in the diabetes community recognize Lane Desborough as one of the founders of the #WeAreNotWaiting movement, coining the phrase during his work in 2013 as the co-creator of Nightscout, a free / open source CGM remote monitoring system, now used by thousands of families around the globe. Lane has spent twenty years creating customer and
business value at Honeywell, GE, and Medtronic in the areas of lean product development, data science, modeling and simulation, automation, human factors, and system safety engineering.
His experience implementing and remotely monitoring control systems in industrial plants enabled him to jump immediately into the fight against T1D when his son Hayden was diagnosed in 2009. Lane joined Medtronic Diabetes in 2010, led the commercialization of Predictive Low Glucose Management, and was subsequently promoted to Chief Engineer, Insulin Delivery / Closed Loop. His worldwide volunteer and outreach work has expanded his perspective on the diabetes challenges faced by families, healthcare professionals, and payers.
