PARSIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Embecta Corp. (“embecta”) (Nasdaq: EMBC), a global diabetes care company, announced it will ring the Nasdaq Closing Bell today in recognition of National Diabetes Awareness Month in November, celebrating the strength, well-being, and individuality of people living with diabetes.

Advocacy and professional groups including the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES), Beyond Type 1, Beyond Type 2, Camp Nejeda, Children with Diabetes, Diabetes Education and Camping Association (DECA), the Diabetes Foundation, Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD), The Diabetes Link, and The diaTribe Foundation are joining embecta at the Nasdaq MarketSite to ring the closing bell.

embecta has been serving people with diabetes since 1924, when the company’s predecessors developed the world’s first syringe specifically designed for insulin delivery, only two years after insulin was first successfully used to treat people with diabetes. One hundred years later, there are approximately 537 million people worldwide live with diabetes1, and embecta remains committed to making their lives better through innovative solutions, partnerships, and education, leveraging its talent and expertise in insulin delivery to empower people with diabetes to live their lives with fewer limitations.

“It’s an honor to ring the Nasdaq Closing Bell today as we commemorate National Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day on November 14th, alongside partners who share our commitment to improving the lives of those living with diabetes,” said Devdatt “Dev” Kurdikar, Chief Executive Officer of embecta. “Together, we recognize that people with diabetes face daily challenges that impact their physical and mental well-being. Yet diabetes is just one aspect of their lives — they are people with families, with hobbies, with hopes and dreams. For Diabetes Awareness Month and beyond, let’s focus on holistic well-being and making sure that diabetes doesn’t limit anyone from being the person they most want to be.”

“Diabetes can be a heavy burden that’s often invisible to the people around us. That’s why we are so grateful to embecta for bringing the community together today to show every person with diabetes that they are not alone,” said Lisa Gier, Executive Director of the Diabetes Education and Camping Association. “We are proud to stand side-by-side with these organizations to create a sense of belonging for everyone touched by diabetes.”
