10 Years of Glucology: A Thank You to the Diabetes Community

by IBD Medical on September 25, 2026

A word from our CEO & Founder
Elad Guberman 
  
Ten years ago, Glucology didn't start in an office. It started in my small apartment in Glebe, Sydney — no funding, no big plan, just a belief that people managing diabetes every day deserved products built for real life, not just a diagnosis.
     

From a Glebe apartment to a global community

Ten years ago, Glucology didn't start in an office. It started in my small apartment in Glebe, Sydney.

There was no big office, no huge team and no elaborate plan. There was simply a belief that people managing diabetes every day deserved products designed for real life, not just a diagnosis. That idea became Glucology.

A decade on, that idea now reaches over 350,000 people in 35+ countries, and we work alongside more than 1,800 pharmacies here in Australia. But the numbers were never the main point.
  

What 10 years of diabetes has taught us

I don't manage diabetes myself. But ten years of building this business up close has taught me something I don't think gets said to you often enough: what you do every day is genuinely amazing.
  • The constant checking
  • The planning around every meal and moment
  • The decisions that have to be made throughout the day.
  • The preparation.
  • The unexpected moments.

The resilience it takes to turn what could be an ordinary day into something you have to actively manage, again and again, without it ever really stopping — that's not nothing. That's real strength. So from someone who's spent a decade watching it up close: you rock, and I mean that properly.

Our community is what keeps us going

What actually gets me out of bed is hearing from you. It doesn't matter if you found us online, through a pharmacy, or through one of our industry partners — when someone tells us a product made their daily diabetes management even a little easier, that's what makes the hard moments of running a small, privately owned business worth it. That feedback is fuel. It always has been.

Building this brand from a Glebe apartment to a global one is a real moment of pride for me — and it belongs to this community as much as it does to the Glucology team. You made it possible.

To the Glucology team: thank you

And I want to say a proper thank you to that team too — everyone who's been part of Glucology over the past 10 years, past and present. The ones who packed the orders, answered the calls, solved the problems nobody else saw, and cared about getting it right just as much as I did. This milestone belongs to you as much as it does to me.

And this is just the beginning. We're full of beans and fully committed to keep building on our mission, alongside you.

Thank you for 10 years — and for everything you carry every single day to make it look easier than it is.

With a lot of respect and appreciation.
