About ViCentra

Worldwide, over 30 million people with diabetes are insulin dependent. This means they need insulin to manage their blood glucose levels. They can either give themselves multiple daily injections or use an insulin pump, which administers insulin on a continuous basis around the clock.

At ViCentra, we’re on a mission to design an insulin pump that delivers not just a best-in-class performance, but also gives our users an experience that empowers and excites them. Something a bit different from the usual medical experience!

People with diabetes are people – not patients.

Our philosophy is all about simplicity, helping to carry some of the weight of day-to-day diabetes management for the user. Kaleido is one of the smallest insulin pumps in the world, available in 10 colour combinations. We want our users to wear their Kaleido proudly, allowing them to focus on what truly matters - living life on their own terms!
