flag A UAE-led study proves diabetes devices work in space, paving the way for astronauts with diabetes to travel.

flag A UAE-led study during the Axiom Mission 4 has shown that diabetes management tools like continuous glucose monitors and insulin pens work reliably in space, marking a major step toward enabling astronauts with diabetes to travel. flag Conducted aboard the International Space Station, the Suite Ride experiment confirmed real-time blood sugar monitoring and insulin delivery function effectively in microgravity, with results matching Earth-based accuracy. flag The findings, validated during an 18-day mission involving astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, represent the first use of these devices in orbit and support broader goals of equitable space access and improved remote healthcare on Earth.
