Suite Ride

Spaceflight Use of Insulin, Tests, and Equipment ​Developing a Suite of Medical Capabilities to Support Astronauts with Diabetes or Other Traditionally Disqualifying Medical Conditions
Suite Ride

This  experiment aims to demonstrate that insulin-dependent diabetic astronauts can  be supported for short duration stays in microgravity. This will be achieved  by demonstrating accurate blood glucose testing, data transmission, and  insulin viability on ISS. This research will help enable people with diabetes  to participate in future space missions, thus expanding the eligibility of  crew and expanding access to space to more people. This project is a  partnership with Burjeel Holdings PLC, a UAE-based healthcare services  provider.
