Our story / 2022 → today

Four years ago, everything became personal.

Our daughter Vasilisa Pogozheva was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. We began searching for answers — and bringing together people who want to change their children’s future.

That is how Sugar Pulse began.

Our moonshot

One day, diabetes will no longer define the future.

That is our bold vision. Supporting families, sharing knowledge and working with researchers are the steps we take towards it.
